FINALLY...some movement!!

Wow, it has been a really long time since I updated you all, but there really hasn't been anything happening in Nepal. Due to a new government, there had not been a Minister appointed for the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Affairs. Until today!! See below from - http://www.kantipuronline.com/

KATHMANDU , Sept 2 - The cabinet has been expanded for the sixth time on Wednesday with the induction of representatives from the Madhes-based parties. Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal inducted two ministers, one assistant minister and six ministers of state.

PM Nepal swears in new ministers.He administered the oath of office and secrecy to Sarbadev Ojha of the Madhesi Janadikar Forum- Loktantrik (MJF-L) and Laxman Lal Karna of the Sadbhawana Party

Ojha has been sworn-in as the Minister for Women, Children and Social Welfare, while Karna the Minister without portfolio

Ojha took the oath in Nepali language and Karna in Hindi, amidst a ceremony at the President’s Office in the presence of President Dr Ram Baran Yadav.

This is great news. Also, the first three families that were matched in May have received final approval for travel. So, they are leaving real soon to pick up their children! I know it will still be a long wait, but at least things seem to be moving forward...finally.
