SEPANA (DREAM) NEPAL.
The contrast in Nangi village to Pumdi village is both inspiring, shocking and motivating. I walk down to a much less physically demanding environment. Where the cultural barriers are far higher for me. There is a different understanding of development here... maybe the result of being close to Pokhara city where tourism is what the city strives on. Whatever it be - I am still learning about it and any such thought I pass here - are MINE and not justified by anything more than my experiences.
Sapana Nepal works in Pumdi, and do much more than inspiring education. Sepana Nepal looks ahead into keeping things sustainable. I want to help this. I want something long lasting.... and I want somet
hing FUN.... What is fun - time, an experience... A FEELING ... and state of mind.
So far Sapana has done a good job in developing the creative mind and introducing colour. That in itself for me is incredibly exciting.
We have played around with some Batik here on possible marketable items in Australia. At this stage I hope to go home with some samples, tests, development and positivity. And I feel in the future there are big possibilities for a womens program here. The biggest feat is gaining trust in what we are selling. I would be ever so happy to work along side these women.
