After 3 weeks of Urban Homestay at Patan where the students did their ISPs now we are moving to Dhulikhel for midcourse.
In Patan they learnt Nepali language, which helped them a lot and now they can speak basic Nepali which would be a good way to initiate a conversation with locals. They were able to navigate in the alleys of Patan areas and even though they got lost they were able to find the way asking locals. They led the excursions on Sundays: they learnt about permaculture, pottery, botanical garden etc.
It was very difficult to say goodbye to their homestay families since they all had made deep connection with them. It was very nostalgic.
Now in Dhulikhel, we are celebrating the mid point of our course. We will explore the Dhulikhel in the afternoon. Everyone is excited to start a new phase.
