Begin Again

Sunrise Over the Himalayas​
Classes started this week. This is everyone's first fall semester on this mountaintop. I loved my first week of classes. The students were engaged in Current Legal Issues, eager to do an advocacy project (or so it seems). 
My second year students were good sports in Oral Advocacy and Logic (we all have to take that class).
The sky is a dreamscape of possibilities. ​

We are half an hour from the nearest town, over an hour from Thimphu, the Capitol, where most of the staff and students had lived and worked at the first campus. I find little Pangbisa like a working retreat, but inconvenient at times. For those with family and friends in Thimphu, it can be isolating and an expensive commute. Remoteness creates challenges in connecting with the community and doing advocacy as well unfortunately. ​

The laundry room will get more crowded now that students are back. 
The Law School began the semester with a first aid training for all students. A good idea in this remote setting. 

My daily walks still begin and end my daylight with stunning views and friendly smiles.
