We have Moved!
We are now located in Shaker Heights, OH. You
can still reach us at 301-587-0871 or contact us at awog@erols.com and aworldofgood@gmail.com.
We can no longer receive any mail at the Comcast address.
Many of you ask us how the kids are doing.
They're quite well and are enjoying their new school and neighborhood.
Joshua, 12, is taking clarinet lessons and singing and and
Sean, who is now 7, has finally cut his rat tail and looks like a tonsured
monk. He is still reading remarkably well and playing piano.
We will have pictures of our new surroundings up soon.
As usual, we are always making changes
to site slowly without taking the whole site off-line. In the meantime,
there will be some uncertainty about prices. We will update the prices as
quickly as we can. As the popular disclaimer says, prices are always subject
to change without notice. But when you place your order, we will contact
you about any changes before we
send your order and bill you so that you can make any changes that you need
to make.
In other news about Nepal,
there is a new government and new difficulties. The King no longer controls the government in
any capacity. For about 7 years, battles have erupted in rural areas and
small villages. While much of the difficulty has moved out
of the capital, there are still problems in the Terrai. Fuel
prices and food prices are out of control, and the poor are
really struggling to feed their families. If you would like
to learn more about the progress of reform in Nepal, you can find news coverage
in the major media outlets, such as CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington
Post, among others. If you haven't explored the on-line versions of such
news sources, you should give it a try. There's a world of information
at your fingertips. It's much easier to search for news that way than to
find a Nepal story buried deep in the actual newspaper.
Belief and Atit are doing
very well. Belief is on his way to college in Finland while
Atit is taking business coursed in Nepal. We helped them to get through
high school, but unfortunately, their college tuition is beyond
our means. We are wishing them the best of luck.
We are now involved in a library
building project in the Rasuwa District of Nepal. For more information,
look at our blog goddessoftheconfluence.blogspot.com.

with Jeri on a future trip send her a note at awog@erols.com or aworldofgood@gmail.com.

With best wishes to you all for a successful and peace
filled 2010!
Sincerely,
Jeri, Wayne,
