Today we went to the slum because activista! had donated money to a library. The books were not there yet, but it was opening ceremoni anyway. All of us at the platform were going, so we did a little energizer that was called "big fat pony". At the library there was a lot of speakers and it was all in Nepali. There was school children, women with kids, older people sitting in between. They were all smiling and giving us scarfs that they give to guests or people they respect. We all got chai tea and a little biscuit, and it tasted really good. After the opening ceremoni we went around the area, and I was so surprised. The paths was very narrow, and there was even a television in one of the houses. After lunch back at the platform we had about "Agents of social change". We talked about which skills that are important as an agent of social change. We all agreed that you need patience, leadership, good speaking skills and a good amount of creativity.

after a short break we watched a movie about a Nepali theater group. They go to small villages to preform a play, that has a dilemma and a problem. The people in the village have to make up solutions, and therefore they will learn what to do in similar situations.

After dinner we all went to a local pub with Rikke. They were very happy to see us, and they were all very nice. After some big beers, a couple of hours and a lot of fun we went home. It was the intern Louise last night, and everybody were so excited to dance.
