Sunday afternoon we went to the Soup Kitchen that has been started out on the back roads of Banepa and if you look carefully at the pictures you see how the impact of this establishment has come about concerning the lives of the people who come and eat here once a day.
So having a bunch of Westerners turn up was a bit of an occasion for these people. We watched as the children and families were fed, had fun with them using a camera and taking photo's and before we left we handed out blankets because all of them except the little boy in the blue spiderman outfit had no where to live. Most of them reside in the bushes close to where we were and for safety reasons (a child from another area close to SMH was dragged away and killed by a tiger) they stay close to each other.
This was a very humbling experience and if you look at the photo of the SWAP guys you can see that it was a little hard to take in at one go.
The lady running the centre is a very busy SDA woman and she is involved in many projects including an orpanage in Bhaktapur, it is great to see that so many people really do want to get involved and help each other.
