Hemu's latest trip to Nepal... |
|
 In October, 2009, Rob and I visited Upardang Gadi, a small village in north east part of Chitwan, Nepal. It was a rough 4 hours walk from Shaktikhor to Upardang Gadi. Scattered houses along the way and beautiful landscape made our walk little easier. We reached the top to see the sunset from Gadi. Sky above the eastern part of Nepal looked yellow and red while sun was hiding behind those mountains and slowly it faded to soft pastels. It was one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen in my life. My friend Rob looked little tired that evening but he was so touched by the people and the beauty of that place that he stayed up late just enjoying the silence on those hills. Next day we distributed school supplies, backpacks and shoes to children at Upardang Gadi School and the joy from these simple gifts was touching. We decided to sponsor a lunch program there in the future.

Uperdang Gadi Poem by Rob Rowen |
|
Uperdang Gadi
Far away where
The city lights twinkle
In the distant panorama
we visit a people almost forgotten
There is no government here
No care for kings and presidents
Buildings fall and rock the world
but no echo is felt here
