Making our way south on our run across India. Passing through scenery of immense beauty. Amazing place and people. We are driving across India to raise awareness for charities that support orphans in India and Nepal.

We've broken ground!!! 9 of 50 schools are now in the process of being rebuilt in Kavre, Sindupalchowk, and Ramechap. In addition to the structures themselves, our international partnerships are providing clean water systems, new furniture and whiteboards, solar, and computers. 10,000 students will have #newschools when we are finished. Donate and join us! #rebuildnepal #kidsofkathmandu #nepal #education @shoparchitects photo by @williamvazqueznyc

Stone laying ceremonies are taking place in #Sindupalchok, blessing the grounds where the new schools will be rebuilt. This is a community effort...and is to help create a bright future for these cute little faces full of potential. #education #kidsofkathmandu #nepal #rebuildnepal #rebuildingschools Photo: @bhushandahal

A devastating 6 minute video in this week's NY Times about the importance of #cleanwater and the incredible risk #Nepal is up against after the #earthquake. This issue is no joke. We are installing #water purification systems at every #school we are #rebuilding for the kids and community. We are receiving 4,500 Pack H2Os (water backpacks) so that children can transport the purified water home for the rest of their family. We are also conducting Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (#WaSH) workshops as every school is completed. The cost is $4,000 for one water system per school. All donations appreciated! Namaste and thank you! www.kidsofkathmandu.org #kidsofkathmandu #health #packh20 @packH20 #rebuildingschools #education photo by @tshivs

Hello from the offices of @shoparchitects!! We are SO pleased to announce that we are working with the insanely talented and incredibly generous architects at SHoP on prototypes for the 52 schools we are rebuilding with our partner alliance in Nepal post #earthquake. Collaborating with architects and engineers both in NY and in Nepal, as well as the Nepali government and our AFN partners, these designs are at the forefront of excitement, social responsibility, sustainability. They will incorporate seismic structures, fresh air circulation, rainwater collection and filtration, solar power, bright classrooms, and most importantly a rebuilt school to inspire the children and teachers too! When monsoon ends next month, ground will be breaking! Be part of this exciting (big!) project with us and donate www.kidsofkathmandu.org If you would like to host a Night for Nepal at your apt, get in touch! We will help supply refreshments and the 15 minute presentation. You supply your caring friends!#nightfornepal #kidsofkathmandu #education #rebuildnepal #rebuildingschools #school #educationisopportunity #design #architecture #nepal #shoparchitects (at Woolworth Building, Broadway 233)

“Schools offer safety and a place for students ‘to get away from the hardship....They can start focusing on the ABCs, and one, two, threes, instead of focusing on, ‘My house is destroyed.’” (edweek) #education #nepal #nepalearthquake #rebuildnepal #rebuildschools #schools #kidsofkathmandu Photo: @surajshakya
