Dear David, Zach and the family and friend of Sarkuwa:It was most wonderful to hear from you on the occasion of Dashain. ISince yesterday, I had tried a number of times to call there but I could not get through. However, it was reassuring to receive your email. We would like to see such messages regularly so that we could inspire many more people towards the cause of people of Sarkuwa. We had a very good program organized in Ottawa named Himalayan Heartbeat. Donna and Tom came all the way from White Heath, Illinois and gave a great presentation that has inspired people here. We are preparing a small documentary revolving around that presentation. This will be released within a month and be taken to schools around. We will also do a news release when the documentary is prepared and the website is updated. Thanks Tom and Dona! We would like to know the status of Internet connectivity, its speed, reliability, and status of networking in the school. Also, how easy or difficult it was to make it work and what technology and cost it required. I would love if David and Zach could have some tours of the Dalit (Sarki, Kami) villages in Madi, Barsira, Sisnera, Ganwa and take lots of pictures. SImilarly some Magar villages also. Also, we would like to have statistics on youth population, dropout rates, success rate is SLC, trends and so on (as much as possible). Happy Dashain to all. Special Greetings to all Dhakals and relatives on the occasion of Dashain.Congratulations and appreciation to David and Zach for your excellent service to Sarkuwa. Please accept my salutes!
