Wishing Jim & Rick farewell as they head to Nepal!

This year our Board President, Jim Craig, and Board member, Rick Hendin, are making the spring trip to Nepal. They will be arriving in Nepal this week and staying for about two weeks.

They will have a busy schedule while they are there! They will be hand-carrying letters to all of the sponsored children, visiting the schools that our children attend, meeting with Leena and Yogesh of BSF, and doing some initial shopping for our Trivia Night in April and Holiday Bazaar in December.

This will Jim’s first visit to Nepal as Board President, and he and Rick are excited to meet with the BSF board and capture new photos and videos of Mitrata’s children for their sponsors. We hope that Jim and Rick get some time to explore more of the beautiful country of Nepal, too, and relax after all their hard work!
