First time reading this feisty blog you’ve cobbled (Coppiced?) together and I’m dually impressed–as I usually am with your endeavors!

Just wanted to give you a shout despite my prolonged radio silence. Thank you for keeping me updated about all you’re up to. You are an inspiration in passion+execution and I derive jolly-insightful brainfarts from your posts. You are more articulate than you give yourself credit for.

I’m working on the beginning of my master’s in Edu and teaching credential. Gonna be a French teacher to start–will join the Reconquista for the Estados Unidos de Mexico mas tarde;)–and am super amped at the prospect of peddling culture and comment allez-vous to pimply adolescents (my how our interests evolve!).

That’s my scoop, I know you’re enjoying what you are doing and I’d love to read whatever final abstract/document you submit, when all is said an done, about your findings.

Keep your hands dirty and enjoy the tea and yak butter (isn’t there some kind of yak specialty up there involving their milk?),

What a wonderful slice of life, Mer! I can just SEE you sitting the back of that motorbike, trailing your pink, Barbie-esque sari and wending your way from that family’s ‘party down’! Think of the tales you will tell your grandchildren! And… how honored you must feel to be included in this joyous celebration!

I love it! Reminds me of that Princess birthday party where we all got to dress up in fun clothes. Also I am loving your blog- so interesting to read and bizarre to imagine you are really doing/seeing all these amazing things!

I think that you are on the right track here. I am willing and able to make a long commitment in many aspects of this. For one, I can help build a relationship on the web for your cause and help you target a broader audience who would be willing to contribute.

Additionally, I would love to be part of what you are doing, including being part of the board and even visiting Nepal to help you get started. Moreover, in terms of getting a short-term fix, how many students do you see in your immediate area needing some sort of scholarship to attend school right now? I would be willing to provide scholarships to a number of them and can find people to do the same.

I would love to see what other people have to say and willing to contribute. (EVERYONE READING THIS PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT WITH YOUR OPINION PLEASE!)

Love you Mer!
