Hello friends,

I've been out of touch with many of you, and I wanted to let you know...
I'm getting married at the end of April (!).
And before that, I'm taking my fiance Ian with me to Nepal. We leave on March 12. Wow.
I'm both excited and overwhelmed.

As for the rest, I'm working as a buyer for a growing, crazy, fun, locally-owned multi-sport
store, buying for camping, travel, backpacking, cycling, and opening up a climbing
department. It's wild, and I get to play with all the stuff I like. And I'm still trying to race
(road cycling) when I have the time. I had a pretty good season last year, but with all that's
going on this year I'm not counting on much.

We'll be having a party on April 30 to celebrate the wedding, so if you're near SF at that
time, let me know!

best,
~lynell

Hey all,

If anyone is considering Crisis Corps and doesn't have
anything going on this summer, these sound like some
great opportunities.

Hope everyone is doing well-

Alayne

I saw this very odd article in a Washington newspaper about the Nepali
  government offering cash to Maoists who surrender. Check it out:

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1104AP_Nepal_Rebel_Amnesty.html

I just received an email from Friends of Nepal reporting that Dr.
Madhu had been jailed. You can read the report the Friends of Nepal
has on its blog, http://blog.friendsofnepal.com/?p=146.

Best,

scott

Hi Linda-

Although I am not affilaited with any particualr organisation I am ammber of the Centre for International Health and Human Rights studies based in Canada- a loose group of intenational health researchers. But we are working with several orgainstions like Peac thru health, PHR, and centres for human rights at Emory and Hopkins, IPPNW to show a combined response

We havent decided on a last date  or the number of yet as these doctors are in for 3 months as of now but intend to deliver maybe once 1000 plus signatures are reached

Namaste Sonal,

 

Your name was the point of contact on the Health Professionals and Medical Students under Threat in Nepal petition. I am a Returened Peace Corps Volunteer from Nepal and have been cared for by Dr. Madhu. I have a few questions I hope you can answer:

• What organization are you associated with?
• What do you intend to do with the signatures?
• When is the last date to sign the petition?
• Where are you located?
• How many signatures are needed?

Good luck with your efforts and am looking forward to hearing from you.

 Dear David Sir.

Shanaji, Lindaji and Darrenji

 

Namaskaar.

 

This morning again I talked to Shivaji.  He told me that yesterday, Dr. Madhu Ghimire’s wife Cynthiya (Sp.?) met Dr. Madhu at Bhaktapur Army Camp.  She went there with the Human Rights group.

 

Meeting day for Dr. Madhu is on Thursday and Saturday of the week.   Now he is suffering from diarrhea. Cynthia gave some medicines to Madhu. 

 

Shivaji said that he is sending Madhu’s CV to you.

 

FYI, Dr. Madhu’s sister-in-law (Professor of TU) and one brother also were in different jail.  Now they are released yesterday night.

 

Today, we all are at our home.  There are 18 hour long curfew (2am to 8 pm) for today.  I do not think king will give democracy easily.  But it is too much.   Many people are injured and killed. 

Yastai chha. 

 

David Sir and PCN RPCV saathiharu I will contact you if there are any news. 

 

Thank you and regards.

 

Sincerely,

 

Anar

 

i'll do the best i can to avoid
tuesdays...unfortunately we have a few people for whom
mondays or weds are bad for, so i'll just do my best
to stagger it and not schedule too much of either...
later

Hey Everyone,
Quick question - my bahini is applying for a Masters in Public Health
and asked me whether her TOEFL score was good and what schools to
apply to. I was unable to answer the questions so I thought I would
throw it out there.
Let me know if you have the answer to either question.
Take care
Yvette

Yvette:

While I can't offer much in realm of public health school advice, I'm
probably as up-to-date with TOEFL scores as anyone. So let me know and
I'll give you a run-down.

Best,

scott

Hello all,

I am once again getting put up in DC for an 'orientation'.  I'll be in
town from the afternoon of the 15th to the afternoon of the 19th.  Is
anyone interested in a) a Nationals game, or b) meeting up for dinner &/or
drinks?  As always, you are all welcome to come visit em in the southern
hemisphere to check if the water in the toilet spins the other way.

Cheers,
Tony

Hi Tony,

I too will be in D.C. from the 15th to the 17th for a
couple of job interviews. I'll be staying with Shana
and had tentative plans to see Zach and perhaps Linda,
so perhaps we can all meet up for dinner or drinks one
evening.

Hello all,

One of my former classmates from grad school is now working for TEFL
Institute (www.teflinstitute.com).  They perform TEFL training
throughout the world, and they're looking for trainers in Nepal.  As I
understand it, they're looking for people who have at the minimum had
some type of TEFL training in the past because they would just be
delivering their training package.

If you know of anyone (Nepalis, of course), they can contact: Julia
Robb at jrobb@....  Feel free to pass this message along
to interested individuals, or those that can spread the message.

Cheers,

Tony

ps And yes, it's still in the high 80s here.

I've started looking for position for next year as this gig is up in
June.  I've got an application in front of me that wants an address
and phone number for my recent work experience, one of those being
PC/Nepal.  What would y'all put down as an address and telephone
number given that the program is suspended?

Cheers,
Tony

i would put the DC address.....

A Nepali-speaking translator is needed for some legal social work in
Northern California for a single day of 'work'. Travel and expenses
will be paid, as will a fee. The catch is, the person must *not* be
Nepali.

If you'd be interested or know someone who would be interested, please
let me know ASAP. I'm sending this around to various places.

Best,

Hi,

We are an interpretation agency based in Baltimore, MD servicing the
entire mid-Atlantic region.

We are looking for someone to do a couple hours of interpretation work
here in Baltimore for a court case where the witness is Nepali. This
is a paying job for approximately two hours. The interpreter does NOT
need to be court certified, nor is experience necessary.

If you know of anyone that would be interested in this interpreting
engagement, please contact me at 410 846-0222

If you are interested, please feel free to check out our website at:
www.aboutlanguage.net.

Thank you very much for your time.
