Anis, Kora, Sewing and HANDS!

Here are some scenes that will help you visualize what I've been writing about for the past month! It's hard to know what photos will come up as I type these descriptions, because it's all "coded" until you hit "publish"-so here's a general description: The Fearless HANDS in Nepal team, in Boudha, Nepal, the cow is a calf who was always walking around the great stuppa with all the Tibetans (must be a very enlightened cow!) visiting the Arya Tara school of destitute and poor girls, Jan falls in love with little Ani (ani means Nun in Tibetan) Urgan Dolma, who was dropped off her after her mom could no longer care for her-also, shopping for Tibetan beads from Tibetan lady and sewing machines, including shouldering the machine in two parts up the trail to its new home!
