Namaste,

Just a bit of background... I am studying forestry at Bangor University and wish to specialise in Community/Social Forestry. I am English but spend much of my time in Kathmandu and Saragamatha. I went to University in the hope that i could help in Nepal, maybe teaching children the importance of Forestry or working with villagers. I am also a social worker and spend most of my time working with seven orphansages in the city, close by to Swayambhunath. I am currently on a placement working as a community forest officer and was wondering if...

Anyone knew of any Nepalis living around the North West of the UK? (Liverpool, Manchester etc). I hate being away from Nepal and i miss it and its people very much, but also the "ali ali nepaliko barsa" i know is slowly fading away. I help all the Nepali's at my university to settle into the uk and they have become good friends.

Any info would be much appreciated,

Many thanks,

Barry
