Sikre village.
I have met with Khadga Kharel Ji some time ago through a dear Australian forriage expert- Alan Robertson. This connection is valuable, and my instinctual trust can be confirmed.
Our plans have been simmering for six months now as we developed some basic kites in his home to sell in Australia. Basic, biodegradable, and beautiful. This trial in his family led me now to believe we could place in it a womens group and invest in some aspect of education like that of Nangi. This initial test takes place in Sikre - Sindhupalchowk. Nepal.
My meeting here was exciting as I felt them appreciate my language, and Bim Kumari Ji led me to a place within the jungle where we gained trust of each other and ate good ripe berries. This meeting will follow with an agreement made following fair trade principles to test whether they really are interested in making kites. We have found some good colour from the jungle that can be made into a paste for the block printing, and there are enough flowers about to press print too.
Photos will come soon.
