Nepal reminds me that when it comes to play, children are exceptionally resourceful. For example, from a dozen plastic bags, children construct a football; from a sandlot, a soccer field; from a hoop, a toy that will entertain for hours; from nothing more than a small flat stick, a “shovel” that can be used to carry dirt from one side of the road to the other. Nepal also reminds me that kids are kids all over the globe.
