Academy Sports Day

The Academy on board the ship marked their end of the year with a Sports Day. The Nepal UN Base Camp ("Camp Everest") generously offered us their field to use for the event.
The UN Nepal Base entrance.
Entering the field.
I arrived too late to see the kids compete, but got to see the parents racing.
The moms start their race.
The men get a "head" start.
The dads come running towards the finish line.
Parents hover under the awning.
A red flag.
The kids watch as the adults race.
By the end of the day no one is in their seats anymore.
The best view.
The bleachers.
A UN ambulance is parked beside the field.
The Academy Principal looks on.The parents.
Time for the announcements.
The kids line up to receive their rewards.
The red team won.
The Principal of the Academy presents a thank you gift to the UN Nepal base.
Some of the teenagers hovering near the end of the field.
Two of my students being themselves.
The same two students looking suspiciously innocent.
