After discussing education theory for the past year, my mind in an academic cloud, nothing felt better than to trek through an actual cloud with my students in Himalayan Nepal. We just completed the trek up to Kyangjin Gonpa in the Langtang region and are resting in Dunche for the day before heading out to Barbandi village tomorrow. We'll work for two weeks on an addition to the school there, staying in pairs between seven homes. After that we'll spend a few days in Baktapur and Boudha before the group flies back to the U.S. I'll remain in Nepal for a couple weeks before beginning the next year of grad school in Philly.
