….. And then it was time to return home.<\/p>\n

\"Clouds<\/p>\n

We reviewed our whole trip and discussed the implementation of our recommendations.<\/p>\n

We met with the KADO solar panel project manager and donated a solar lantern for their review and modification. These excellent LED lanterns were designed and donated by Faith and Anthony Harkham, Canmore, Alberta, Canada. We are very indebted to them for their design work and donation.<\/p>\n

Despite the threatening clouds and rain the following morning , we managed to get a flight back to Islamabad from Gilgit\u2026which saved us many hours travel on the KKH and closer to our departure city.<\/p>\n

It was a very productive and enjoyable trip. It would not have been possible without the great support and hospitality of the people of Hunza !<\/p>\n

I would especially like to thank Imran, Zulfi, Mubeen, Ashraf, Alam Jan and the rest of the KADO staff for their tireless support during our visit and being responsible for making it a success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
