Along the trail, I saw children playing together and taking care of each other. They squealed with delight at "Hide and Seek," "Kick the Can," and "You're it." I watched them climb trees, swim in freezing glacier water, make their own bow and arrows and chase each other up and down the mountain sides. Moreover, they were eager to respond when I talked to them in Nepali. How refreshing to encounter children who's lives are not defined by technology; how difficult to reconcile that pleasure while seeing the lack of education in this impoverished country. We have more to learn than we have to give.
