Before Nene and I leave this beautiful country, there are a few special people I wish to thank. Firstly, to Renee for thinking up this itinerary for the slightly more mature ladies. Renee is the founder of CAI (Children's Aid International), and has been working hard for over six years to raise funds for CWC, she is aided by her mum, Penny who is secretary of CAI. Their dedication to making sure all went smoothly has been greatly appreciated by all. Next and most importantly to Santosh and Rina Karki of CWC and Mummy, Rina's mother and founder of CWC who all made us most welcome. Santosh organised all our travel arrangements which were excellent. Rina and Mummy extended their very generous hospitality and nothing was too much trouble for them.
The most exciting part...we were able to present CWC with a cheque for $16,360.00! Nene has most generously donated money for a cow, which will be called Nene. As a gesture of our appreciation for Renee's efforts a group of us, Liz, Ann, Irene, Moira, Eleri, Penny and myself Cassie, all chipped in to buy another cow, which will be called Renee! CWC have built a cow shed and were waiting for funds to buy a couple of cows so they can supply their own milk for the children.
We are sad to be leaving this amazing country with it's most helpful, gentle people. We will miss our new family at CWC, but as they say this is not farewell - just au revior......
