So last week I spent some time with the participants of the Rumja Livestock Rearing Group in the Maachhepucchre region. You can see this beautiful mountain behind me in my profile pic! Awesome 6991m.
This Group were partaking in Animal management training and were learning about better nutrition, better breeding and better housing techniques so that they could improve their levels of production on their own farms. This means more milk and meat for the family and even allowing them to make some monetary income.
So the training was completed and it will be interesting to see how they put their new knowledge to use. I'll find out the next time I visit.
All is going well here as we approach the harvest season, a busy time for the groups, so the next training sessions will resume after that.

On a personal note, the weather is great and the tourist season is in full swing, the leeches and mozzies are nearly all gone and Pokhara is looking beautiful!
Chat soon

...so it is working.
Actually I went into the blog today and couldn't see the pictures of you. Somehow this seemed to enhance the website if anything !
Have you tried any leeches yet ? Apparently they are good for you. Just stick a few to your forehead and let us know
