I received an email last night....nothing unusual in that.....me and millions of others received emails last night. The email I received was from my friends, Chandra and Rudra Sharma, (sons of Govinda and Mitu Sharma), a couple of great, hard working young guys I had the pleasure of staying and working with during my time in Nepal in October 2008. Organic farming and sharing their knowledge, produce, farm, family, beautiful cooking and community is their thing. They love meeting people from overseas and have opened their house up to foreign guests for 
short stays and longer. When I was there, work was just about to commence on some new extensions, with new kitchen and rooms planned. Located in the village of Patalekhet, in Kavre District, the HASERA Research and Training Centre is approximately 3 hours by local bus into the hills southeast Kathmandu. The farm is at a height of 1800m with beautiful views out over terraced hills and valleys to the Himalaya beyond. You can relax amidst the productive terraces of the farm taking in the sun and views or you can enjoy some time getting your hands dirty helping on the farm. You can also help in the 
kitchen where you can practice your Nepali cooking and language skills. Hillside soccer practice at 6.30 am with the local lads is another option as well as joining in in festivities. They are great singers and dancers. I stayed with them for a couple of weeks in October 2008. It was a busy time being rice harvesting time and a period of much festive activity. School holidays meant soccer practice was in full swing.
