Another Month Down!

Here I am! I have exciting news! I now officially can leave the country! Yup, I received my passport! It's an awesome feeling to be stepping in a positive direction!

So it feels as if I have not actually talked about the program in which i want to volunteer/intern with! It is called the Early Childhood Development CenterNepal (ECDCnepal). here's a little info the I found on their website!

" In Nepal, if a woman goes to prison and none of her relatives can care for her children, the children often accompany their mother to prison. Children grow up in the confines of jail cells without access to education, proper nutrition, warm clothing, and medical care.
The Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) in Kathmandu, Nepal was founded in 2005 by Pushpa Basnet, a young Nepali woman who studied at Kathmandu University. ECDC coordinates with jail administrators to rescue children from jail cells throughout urban and rural areas of Nepal. The children receive regular medical check-ups, vaccinations, and are enrolled in a local private school. Children have regular visitation with their mothers including during the holidays." Read More! <--- there is a link to more info about the center and what they are all about! 

I know that isn't the best picture, but that yellow arrow shows where I will be! 


(Also I don't own the two pictures above!)
I want to visit this facility not to necessarily change the world but to learn from it. I know that i will learn so much more than i could ever teach and that is the best part about working with other cultures. Each culture has something to teach, discover and share to change the world. These children will no doubt change my life in positive ways.
