Namaste Everyone,
It’s been a week since we have reached chaukati village and stayed with homestay families. Students have been very engaged with their language class and respective homestay families. They help out in the farms and the kitchen as well. This week, we visited a Blacksmith in the village who mainly works with making tools such as spade, axe, knife etc for the farm works. Then, we went to help clear a field for future agricultural use. We visited a Hindu temple devoted to Lord Shiva and learned about the rituals and sought blessings.
The group has done so well adapting into the village life here. They are enjoying the nature and the farm animals that their homestay families take care of. They have been playing volleyball with the local kids and there have been matches too! They enjoy their free time having tea at a local shop and talking with the shopkeeper in Nepali.
Here are some photos! Please enjoy them!
