Made it to Biratnagar in SE Nepal -- hung out with the Red Cross/Red Crescent guys doing relief work for Kosi flood victims. Hired a car to go to Jhapa Habitat office (we just headed east until we bumped into India). Saw a couple of Habitat houses built in the last year: 
Habitat is working with local partners to develop bambo contruction materials factory:
The Kosi River flood (happened in August during monsoon, the river breached a huge portion of levee and destroyed houses and farm land).
Habitat is working with local government to do pilot project to relocate 50 families into permanent Habitat homes.
