Namaste Niki,
I am late to reply your email because here people are celebrating the Tihar festival and the internet center here was closed. It was opened just today. Good news, Dil, me and the children had nice time in picnic on Wednesday. We went to Tundikhel at 10am. We and the children walk to Tundikhel making the line and the villagers on the way were asking where we are going and etc. We answer them that we are going for picnic. I have brought the football and the guitar from Dumre. We had the noodles, snacks, buscuits, lots of cold drinks, candies and the many more to eat. After we went to the Tundikhel first we introduced each other. Then Dil and I explained them why they are here and what we are doing for them and we told them that they all are our children and we are trying to help them for their future. We encourage them to study. Then we showed them the photos that you have send and they were very happy to see photos. After that we started playing the ball making all in round and then we play the next game called the Tato Allu or Hot Potato passing the ball fast as according to the music and when the music stops then the ball should be stopped passing and the person who has the last ball then he/she have to be in the middle and dance. As other says it was really fun seeing the children dancing. Binay was the first to dance. Even Asmita and Ashat were also dancing on that game. After then we took all children to the tap for cleaning and washing their hands and feet. Then we also have the nailcutter for cutting their nails. Dil and I cut their nails. At 1:30pm we prepare the lunch and we all ate well. At that time I asked the children about their likes and their disllikes. It was nice time to talk with them. After that we had some copies and sharpener and the eraser, we distribute them. At the last we took photos in group. Hey I have all the photo that I have described to you. I want to send it to you as it might help you on website and more importantly to explain to people about DHF and our work.
Take Care,

Namaste Niki,
How are you there in Chicago? We have been watching the television all the day and every channel are broadcasting the live show of Mr. Barrack Obama becoming the new President of the USA. I was watching the TV Mr. Obama was giving the speech in Chicago "that's in your homeland." I hope that you are also there in that great moment of celebration of the new America's history. What do you think that the new Black President will lead the America in the new way that will be for the people there and for the whole world? Can he rebuild and uplift the America's declining economic crisis? I wish the best of luck for the new President and for all the people there in USA that he can do the best for the creating the new USA that will be strong in economics, politics and the development. Dil and I were watching the live cast of election rally of your home town and Dil and I were watching there if we can see you someewhere there in that mass of people shouting and cheering the new President...
Hey, say hello to your husband from our family and the Nepali greeting "Namaste"!
Hey! Do you know that Dil always tell me that she want to send you the gift too but you know that it is too expensive from here for the courier, but she is telling me that when you come here for the next time we will have the surprise too...That's Dil's love for you.
Ok, I need to go home. See you in the next email!

Namaste Niki,
These days I am suffering from common cold and severe SYNOCYTIES (sinusities). How are you there? Dil is having training in far village through her school. So we are not been able to go for the shopping in Chitwan. We will be going with in the next week. The two girls are already in training since three days ago (referring to DHF's sewing skills training program). I have send you these photos of that they are at training. Every day they are regular to the training from 4pm to 6pm. We have right now 2 girls in training because Buddhimaya has gone to village for the some days, so after she comes back then she will be also in training. We need have to pay Rs. 500 per person per month and the other things girls need for training we have to buy them. I have already wrote you in previous email. Now I think you are clear about the training and bills we have to pay for it.

Namaste Niki,
How are you there in USA? It has been long time not being in touch? Hope you are there all fine with your family!
Here we are fine except me because my nose is giving me a lot of problem. This week I went to Bandipur hospital for my check up and doctor refer me to ENT surgeon, so at the same time Dil and I were planning too for the shopping for the clothes for the children, so two days ago we went to Chitwan both for shopping and for my check-up. We are not been able to take Samundra because of her school and her training (referring to a request by Nichole to take Samundra to Chitwan to learn to bargain for goods).
In Chitwan we did shopping of school blue sweater, jacket, blue socks, woolen gloves and scissors, sewing thread, needles, measurement tape and 8 sacks of rice, toothpaste, soaps etc. I will be sending you all the bill soon.
There I went to Om Hospital and we met ENT surgeon and did Xray and the doc advise me to do for surgery and he told me that my left nasal bone is getting larger and that cause me for the Synocities (sinusitis) regular for my life. Because of this my left nose hole is getting smaller than that of the next. So for this I need to do surgery. But for now he has given me some nasal spray and medicine, if that works well then no need for the surgery. He told me that it might cost around 20,000 to 25,000 rupees (US$262 - $328) and I need to be hospitalize for a week of time. So plz pray for me.....
With in this week we are going to distribute those stuffs so I will be sending you the photos of the everythings.
Now what is going on there? And what is going on with the laptops? Because December (Christmas) is coming and you know that here I am waiting for the laptops...your gift.
Waiting for your reply...
Take Care,
Bijay, DHF Bandipur
