Malaysians are a generous lot indeed. My earlier articles on my charity efforts in Nepal were well received by The Star readers, and donations poured in. A total of RM33,490 was raised.

Armed with this sizeable sum, I paired off with Kalu Tamang, my Nepali friend and fellow project co-ordinator, and headed deep into the rural village of Maneswara, Ghumangkot, in Sindhupalchok district.
