I visited the orphanage this week.
It is clear that the lice outbreak happened there. ALL the little kids at the orphanage were getting their hair chopped off as I wandered in. (One of the other leaders of the YNepal trip traveled home with lice as well.)
I was at the orphanage on a Tuesday, so imagine my surprise when I saw about six girls - about 14-15 years old, in the orphanage when they should have been in school. Turns out the orphanage did not have enough money to pay for the necessary books and school supplies to send the kids to school. They were awaiting a donation from an Australian organization, I believe, and hoping to start school on Monday.
