New volunteers...
At the end of December the therapists were joined by a new volunteer; Susan Mollison (SMTO) who did a fantastic job of refining their techniques, refreshing their knowledge and skills and generally looking after the clinic in our absence. Now, as the high season begins, the massage clinic is thriving and we are getting plenty of regular customers, even during low season. Much of this is due to the Lonely Planet recommendation and we are also now the top attraction in Pokhara on Tripadvisor.com! A new bigger sign (pictured)

is also helping to bring more footfall to the clinic. The income this is generating is making a huge difference to the project, but sadly because inflation in Nepal is at an all time high, and the exchange rate has dropped by 20%, we are still a few years away from our sustainable goals. :(
