Monsoon Madness
Greeting from Nepal to Belfast from Cherith! I’m sitting in an internet cafe in Kathmandu hoping the crazy monsson rain outside doesnt drip in and electricute me!
It has been a great weekend. We finished the playground we have been working on and said a sad goodbye to the children from the school on Friday. We are returning there though at the end of our trip to finish up a few bits a pieces and Lynne and Suzie are going to show the nepali women how to use the hydrotherapy pool.
Yesterday we all attended our different churches with our hosts then met up for lunch at a Momo cafe together. It was interesting! We headed to the monkey temple which was fun, saw a good couple of monkey v’s dog fights!

This morning, I was awoken by the enthusiastic strains of a Nepali band who were in full carnival mode. Clearly, the locals were out celebrating the safe arrival of Team Ramro (and their luggage)!

'Once again we must cry out for the poor'
“The shouts of outrage at the desperate situation of the world’s poorest appear to have quietened to a whisper. Calls to “make poverty history” seem to have faded as quickly as the credit crunch has arrived. But while we tighten our belts at home, the chilling facts of international poverty remain brutal. Once again voices must be raised into a pressing chorus for people living in poverty in our global village.”
Archbishop John Sentamu has written a brilliant piece in The Times today. It’s a good reminder of some of the reasons that we, in CMS Ireland, do what we do. Click to read the whole thing.

Wheelnuts, Developments and the Future...
We are writing this on the last day of our short holiday in Uganda, in the northern town of Arua. It’s been a good break and an opportunity to catch up on sleep, enjoy pizzas, do some shopping and even to swim in the hotel pool! Getting here was, as usual, a challenge and this time was made more interesting because a rear wheel decided to separate itself from the vehicle.
