Shirley Blair, director of SMD Boarding School in Nepal, met twice with interested people in Vancouver, showing her new slide show of the school and updating everyone on life at SMD.
Two supporters opened their home for a private presentation to 30 friends. A wonderful dinner was offered followed by the slide show and Q&A.  Many questions about plans to move the school to a safer, cleaner location and about life for SMDers after graduation were answered.   Look for the full update in the next VVF newsletter.
