Presidenten kom inte! 15 minuter efter utsatt tid så fick vi meddelandet att man inte kunde upprättthålla den nödvändiga säkerheten kring presidenten. Det blev istället Honourable Mr. Sarva Dev Prasad Ojha minister of Comen Children and Social wellfare of Nepal. Resten av ceremonin gick enligt planerna. Barnen hade nepalesisk folkdräkt och det sjöngs och hölls tal som sig bör.

Själva skolan ligger ca 2 mil utanför själva Kathmandu. Bilresan dit tar ca 40 min. Vägarna och trafiken är inte helt enligt standard...

Förmiddag i Nepal, idag är stora dagen då presidenten kommer och det genererar ett stort säkerhetspådrag här i Kathmandu. Jag har sovit första natten här nu och allt är ok, jag åt på restaurang igår men ännu inga tecken på magsjuka?! Hoppas att jag slipper sånt. / Olof

Some of you might already know that I now have returned to old Gothenburg, Consequently: this report constitutes the last piece of information that I present to you from Nepal. My hope is that this series hasn´t been mind-numbing but informative and somewhat interesting.
The first two building has begun to take form. The foundations have been built and the beams for bottom floor are in place. Furthermore the work on pillars supporting walls and upper floors has been initiated. At this point the work is on schedule and it seems the project will be done in time. (My absence, off course, will pose a cosmic dilemma?!) I´m sure they´ll do fine.

It has gotten to be some time since I wrote you news from Nepal last. I might do so now enjoy:
Most preparations of soil, i.e. retaining wall and excavation, are concluded and the construction of the first houses has been initiated. Last week we had a celebration and a ceremony to assure the quality of our buildings, this was carried out according to Hindu traditions. As the project has encountered some set-backs it’s nice to introduce some festive happenings to our work as well.

Once more a brief summary of our little construction-project is at hand.
Another few weeks have passed by and another few events have occurred. At the construction-site the workers are deployed and preparation of soil and digging for fundament has been initiated. Unfortunately the country is experiencing lack of fuel, thus all things that get transported using fuel. There have been some changes to the material-specifications so that we use material that can actually be acquired (easier that way). In the end the quality of houses will not suffer.

I might start this news off be apologizing for not posting the first part about the project to all employees at XDIN. Furthermore: writing in Swedish bad manners on my part! Remember: forgiveness is a virtue.
To bring those who missed out up to speed I'll make a short summary: We're building 3 houses of which 2 will serve as home for 60 kids and the 3:rd will be used for school and administration. We've just selected Contractor to make the buildings as described in drawings submitted to them. (That was basically it back then).
So, what's happened since last time around?
As the initial designer has been replaced by another company some question-marks have arisen. As some land-slide might occur at the property the opinion that the foundation needs to be reinforced has been expressed. Furthermore the design of beams for roofs and floors has been deemed, by the current designer, to be designed in insufficient manner. Thes

Så följer en första rapport om hur jobbet fortskrider med byggandet av de 3 nya hus där CWCN kommer bedriva sin verksamhet i Kathmandu framöver.
Kan nämnas att livet här i Kathmandu på knappt fåtalet sätt påminner om det i Göteborg. El och sånt funkar bara från och till och första upploppet kom efter en vecka¿
Vad gör vi: Två av husen är avsedda att ge boende åt pojkar respektive flickor (totalt 60 barn). I det tredje huset kommer det bedrivas utbildning för att ge barnen en bättre framtid.
Hur går det: När jag kom hit hade ett stort antal bolag sållats bort och endast 2 fanns kvar, M/S Bokhim & Son Construction Pvt Ltd respektive M/S Jaya Buddha Nirman Sewa Pvt Ltd. Efter att ...
