Thanks Nama
These congratulations touched my
hearth. I went three times in Nepal and trekked in the mountains. I also loved
walking in
streets of Kathmandu at 5:00 am, go to the suburbs and come back while
the city is awakening.
I say thanks to all those who
believe in our action and do themselves a tremendous work in their own
country.
Pierre
