It\u2019s Thursday, tomorrow is a public holiday for a Hindu festival,\nso our last day sharing the message of equality. 4 school on the agenda all\nvery welcoming. The first, Mills school, teachers and children taking on the\nlearning of catching throwing and batting and the madness of catching tennis over\nthe volleyball net led by Ed,  where Lee\nand Tim couldn\u2019t resist joining in throwing their bodies to the dusty grounds\nto win the ball. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a young lad who decided to work alongside me and coach\nthe other children who circulated to catching and everyone had fun. The\nteachers and wee kids also joined the station. We then hailed a tuk tuk round\nto Orchid school, a visible difference in the discrimination of the role of the\nboys and girls, reflected in the discussions and actions on the field. Boys\nglued together and the girls ditto. We worked hard to teach the importance of teamwork,\nvaluing the strengths of individuals and looking out for each other when Tim\nand I ran rapid fire. As for the teachers their enthusiasm over-stepped so continual\nremoval to the side-lines was required. Ongoing coaching and much time will infiltrate\nchange as we\u2019ve seen elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Everest moment was after a quick veg momo stop which was\nvery tasty, taking a tuk tuk to a rural part of Biratnagar and landing at a\nschool for deaf and mute children, where a few could speak and partially hear.\nThe teachers spoke to us signed to the children and taught us a couple of signs\nto communicate. 155 children, relays set up in rows of 10, demo stations shown\nand away they went. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus on the children\u2019s ability to replicate was such a\nreflection on how watching is so powerful a tool to teach, the peer support and\nthe sounds of joy was beautiful. All ages, all abilities were absorbed, such an\nair of peace yet sounds of laughter. At the end an older boy pointed to Lee to show\nhis bowling, he was sharp and a wicked bowler. We saw so much skill and at the\nend Nepal Cricket Foundation and CWB agreed to support further integration for\nequality for coaching for the deaf. A fantastic feeling to see how CWB really\ndoes a support the local coaching moving forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, our time in Nepal has been one of joy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
