Project toilets survive earthquake

Miraculously the project toilets have escaped the earthquake.  The majority are in good condition, and only a few have received damage.  Where houses have been destroyed or damaged, the debris managed to miss the toilets in all but a few locations.

Now that the villagers have relocated to temporary shelters, some of which are clustered together, many toilet buildings are used for safe storage of food and valuable possessions such as brassware and prized pots.

Some older people have even taken to sleeping in the toilet building, once they saw these buildings survive both of the serious quakes.

Fading eastern light over western NSW plains on re-entry to Sydney.

Tough visit to Nepal this time. Struggling economy, massive inflation, increasing suicide rates, fewer and fewer jobs. Small wonder the drain of young people coursing out of the country, mainly aged 18-30 years, continues to grow. On average 3-4000 per day.

Villages are emptying. Schools are closing due to falling numbers of students. Families are breaking up, leaving the parents to grow into either a lonely retirement in Nepal or face moving to another country where they are with their kids and grandkids but without their daily neighbours and local community.

It’s great to see so many beautiful Nepalese working and helping in Australia and other countries, and seeking opportunities they can’t find in their home country but the social, structural and political fracturing back in Nepal is deepening. The next few years will be very interesting.

Namaste!!🙏🏽 🙏🏽
