With the monsoon raining on in Nepal (and Yorkshire it seems) there hasn't been much to report. The students are still doing their computer training and having monthly exams but without tourists, they only have each other to practice on for now. News from Nepal is that they are using the time well and we are hoping this break will help them learn to be more independent.

Training begins again in September, when they will complete their course and a group of new students will be recruited.







This month we are delighted to have formed a promising new link with the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage (ISRM). They have generously volunteered to support (and help to develop) our training course, and provide free tutor training for volunteers. Linking with the ISRM should also help us to raise awareness and recruit extra volunteer therapists. We are proud to be working with Mel Cash and Susan Findlay from the London School of Sports Massage to achieve this, and once again grateful to Jo Chatfield, who brought us all together!
