I am finally done organizing all of the photos that I took.  I've attached some below that I thought were interesting of life in Nangi, the people, etc.  If you want to look at more, you can go to Flickr, where I posted all of the pictures that I have so far: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51734689@N03/   .  There are two sets at this Flickr site - one set are the pictures that I took and one set are the pictures that the 10th grade students took.  I like a lot of their photos because they show what they think is interesting and important.  Warning...  there are lots of photos - sorry about that.  Hopefully, you can find a way just to look through them quickly.  My mom might be the only person who will feel like looking at them all, and she'll probably get tired of them, too, before the end ...

Hemkumari cooking us dinner on our first night in Nangi.  This is the kitchen in our house.

The students are doing morning exercises in the school yard.  School starts at 10 am and ends at 4 pm.  The kids go to school from Sunday through until lunchtime on Friday.  The school is in the background of the photo.

View of Dhaulagiri from the village.

The jars are exhibits in the "museum" in the campground.  I'm not sure how old they are.  They look like they are made out of pottery, but they are all made out of wood.  Some women from Nangi were cleaning them up while we were there.

This is the tool that does everything.  Everyone owns one and carries it with them all the time.  It's amazing all of the things that they can do with this tool...

These baskets are used for all kinds of things in Nepal.  They carry the baskets using the strap and putting it over their forehead.  They us them to carry everything from grass for cows to potatoes to fabric, and then they flip them over and the baskets serve as cages for their chickens.

A typical house made out of stacked stones covered with mud.

Typical kitchen...  They cook over a wood-burning stove and sit on the mats to eat.  This is the kitchen in Krishna's house.  He told me that when the walls get blackened from soot, his wife puts a new layer of mud on the walls so that they stay clean.

I think that this man told me he is 92 years old.  He is separating goat hair, which they use in mattresses and pillows (among other things).

One weekend while we were there, they caught the fish in their fishpond.  The pond belongs to the school.  The money that they raise from selling the fish to the villagers goes to the school.  It was a very social event - the whole village was out watching what was going on, so we went to check it out, too.

Loading up rocks for the foundation of the solar water heater footers.  It is amazing how much weight they can carry in baskets with straps over their forehead!

Picking plums at Moti's house.

The 10th graders that we did the photography classes with gathered around Jessica to see the pictures that they all took.  This picture was taken in the house that we stayed in.

Jessica teaching the 10th graders how to use Photoshop.

This is how they carry those baskets...

A classroom at the school in Nangi.

The front door of Moti's house.

This is how they cut wooden planks for houses and for signs.

This is where I washed our clothes.  It would be so cold to wash clothes here in the winter...

The view of the mountains just outside the village as we hiked down to Beni.

This shot shows the mountains in the background.  Nangi can be seen on the hill that is in the middle of the picture.

On the hike down...

Tomorrow I will try to post pictures that the 10th graders took.  I will also try to post pictures that Jessica took soon.  Hers are better than mine - she is so much more creative than I am!
