On the 7th Jan I’ll be travelling to Nepal for 10 weeks to take part in a project with PlatForm2. The project is in Lamatar, which is just 13 km away from downtown Kathmandu. Although it is quite close to the city, it has a very rural atmosphere and is surrounded by agricultural land. There are only basic facilities and services in Lamatar.The project includes a number of different elements and will involve volunteers living and working alongside the community members.
