Bengaltiger-- I do not yet know which orphanage I will be placed with. So far my only contact is the coordinator of the volunteer program, though he has answered all of my questions and been very helpful. If you can suggest some places where I might meet good people, especially travelers, I would appreciate the information. I am sure that I will find the people of Nepal to be friendly and helpful, but it is always good to know what sort of places a foreigner should stay away from as well. Thanks for your comments.
