A quiet and minor victory

Up at Sakhu on Thursday, Jagat and Agreni told me that they want to make more pedal-powered washing machines--different designs, so they can learn which one works best.

And apparently people in Sakhu are asking what the name of the "company" is that made the washing machine. I told the kds to say PA Nepal; or the Jagat-Agreni-Jivan-Krishna company (though of course many more kids helped out...).

Not sure where super-low-budget Wrench Nepal is going to get the money to make more of these things; but hearing this absolutely made my day--it means that for all the social and appropriate aspects, this building experiment has been a great, great success.
