After Cedric left, we were joined by friends (and freelance film producers/directors) Peter Gordon and Nick Finnis, who have filmed hours of our activities with a view to making a short documentary about our work (Probably for regional tv - maybe more...). We've been filmed doing all sorts - from working, teaching and shopping to visiting the local buddhist monastery and boating on the lake! Not only will the film be extremely useful for fundraising, it has also been a lot of fun to do, and the locals certainly seem bemused by our activities!

It's been a very busy few months in Nepal and we've finally found the time (and the technology) to post a quick Namaste! We were joined shortly after our arrival this time by Cedric, our Director of Fundraising in the US. He has been a stoic supporter of Seeing Hands since our chance meeting in Tibet in 2005 but has never seen our work first-hand, and was able to meet the students in person (and get a massage or two) before heading off to do a trek in the Annapurna region. The smiles say it all!
