Flights are booked

My flight is confirmed for September 11, yes I know a very notorious date, however I figure maybe the flight will be quieter if people are suspicious of flying on that date. This makes no difference to me.
I leave Toronto at 1:40am which means I am to arrive at the airport at 11:00pm on September 10th.
Stay with me now, then after 15hours of non-stop flying I arrive in Hong Kong at 6;30am on the 12th.
After a 12 hour stop-over I leave for Kathmandu at 6;30pm, quick stop in Bangladesh and finally arriving in Kathmandu at 10:30pm. I will be met at the airport by a representative of the organization and driven to their house where I will sleep for a long time!

Nepal - Here I Come

"The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others". Ghandi

 After many years of soul searching, I have decided to follow my heart and begin a new chapter in my life. In September 2012, I will embark on a journey, which will take me to Nepal. I will be volunteering with Volunteer Society of Nepal (see video) in which I will teach English to Buddhist monks for 3 months, then I will be working in an orphanage helping the kids with their homework, taking them to and from school and providing support and help wherever required. The Volunteer Society of Nepal relies on volunteers to provide their services so I will not be paid for my work, I must cover all of my expenses, flights, room and board, insurance and visas. I am currently working two jobs to finance this but would like to purchase some much needed materials: books, art supplies, clothes and medical supplies to bring.
Any contribution would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support.
