Cultural Affairs Officer Amanda S. Jacobsen inaugurated the Edward J. Miller, Jr. Memorial School Library established at the local Balsudhar Secondary School in Duwachaur, a village at the edge of the Kathmandu Valley. She also presented 100 books to the library on behalf of the U.S. Embassy. The Himalayan Foundation Corporation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the people and ecology of the Himalaya, established the library in memory of the late Edward J.
