Hello dear friends,

I wanted to take the time to give you a new update. I have researched for any option that could be available to build a house with the amount we raised but it was not possible to find any construction company or other alternative that would lower their prices so much. So my family and I decided to invest some of the money raised to build us a new cottage, I've attached some pictures. It's one step towards a better structure for living. I'm now saving the remaining of the money raised so I can hopefully add to it and in the future build the house that we envisioned. Many of my neighbors have built 2 or 4 bedrooms houses in the village that are earth quake safe and I am hopeful that I will be able to do so in the future as well. I am currently with prospects of working as a guide in the touristic season and also looking into other options such as taxi and some opportunities of contract work.

I'd like to thank you again for all your help. Although I have not yet been able to build a better house for my family, I feel most humbled by your donations and have faith in the future that with hard work and the enormous help you have provided, one day that dream will come true.

Thank you one more time.

Namaste,

Sapaman
