Our sales reps for PA & NJ – the adventurous Sam Felicia and Molly Russell – are in Nepal for the Near East South Asia Council of Overseas Schools (NESA) 2010 Fall Leadership Conference.

Sam writes “Got up at 5 AM. Left the hotel at 6. Flew to Mt. Everest and was back at my table working by 8:20 AM. Nice way to start the day.”

Sam writes “we took a ride to the Bagmati River, site of the Pashupatinath Temple. They do a lot of Hindu and Buddhist cremations here because the Bagmati is sacred and flows to the Ganges.”
