“The project was the most challenging
of my life,” said CAI Baltistan Manager
Mohammad Nazir. “Very hard work because
roads were blocked, bridges washed out,
porter problems, no Jeep available, no food,
walking 13 to 16 hours, no water because of
summer mud, and no skilled labor.”
Despite the challenges, the building was
completed last fall. Children returning to class
in March will have a new building waiting for
them.

CAI sends our best wishes and chuk chuk
(hand claps) to the people of Korphe and
everyone who made this project possible. It
seems so fitting that we will celebrate our 20th
anniversary with such an amazing accomplishment in the village where the movement
began so many years ago.
We can’t wait to see what the next 20 years
have in store! n
