one week

Welcome one and all!  
This website will be home to all of the many adventures and misadventures of Britta Schroeter and Rebecca Smith in the grand land of Nepal.  We will be arriving in Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, January 13th.  The first two months of our journey we will be living and working at Harka Sustainable Orphan Home in the Chitwan Valley (approx 2 hours south of Kathmandu).

The above website gives some great information on the history, vision, and sustainable efforts of Harka...and gives you a better idea of where we will be and the children who will undoubtedly be making us smile and laugh too much.

Mid to late March we will start our trek to the base camp of Mt. Everest! I plan on stowing away a couple of boulders in my backpack for prosperity's sake (:  More details on our exploration will come as we get acclimated to our surroundings.

The idea is to keep all of our friends and family updated with anecdotes and pictures throughout our stint in the Himalayan Region.  And rumor has it that we will have internet connection in a village close to the orphan home, so be sure to send us comments and e-mails and stories from the America!!

Grace and Peace,
Rebecca.
