From the moment when I first arrived in Kathmandu I fully believe that I was adopted into the VCD Nepal family. This sense of sibling love and community was definitely prevalent for the entirety of the trip but was strongest in Torikhet, Chitwan. Working with the children in the library and then living in the…
Leo – You stole my heart but you can keep it… here in Nepal. I’ll be back for it. And you. And for momo. And daal bhat. And Prakash’s fried rice. And maybe Prakasi too. And Bicky is pretty cool too so I’ll come back for him. And Bishal’s fake tooth and Amaa’s smile. But…
I had the experience of a lifetime and the Lighthouse was made to feel like home. I had an absolutely amazing time here in Nepal. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, especially Amaa and Buwa. They took me in and really made me feel like family from day one. The school and library were incredible, making…

15/03/2014 Bicky, It´s not about the words, it´s about what´s in the heart. My stay in Nepal and especially in the lighthouse changed me from a five star hotel boy into someone that will know better for the rest of my life. Go with the flow has been my guide and it turned out…
26/02/2014 To dear Bicky and the wonderful people of VCD Nepal I have had such an incredible experience here! It has been a once in a life time opportunity and I thank you so much for taking in and making me feel at home. Thank you Bicky for organizing my adventure you are ridiculous amazing!…
Having read many of the previous fare well letters I can only agree with the sentiments stated.
