In addition to paying our own travel expenses, our team was asked to bring our own tools---apparently battery-operated tools among other things are hard to find in Nepal. The Habitat team leaders have converters to 220 volts but need tools and batteries. We're told that bamboo is tough to cut & assemble. A big Thanks goes to Tom who has underwritten a large bag of tools on the list. (Now, just imagine me going through TSA with a sawzall or large hand drill and chisels in my bag). I'll let you know how that goes. I am not really worried though as Habitat for Humanity has done this many times before in other parts of the world, so I'll do whatever they suggest.
If you want to help out, a tax-deductible contribution of any size to offset expenses will be appreciated by the team. Send to:
