Some bad news

Unfortunately in March we had a break-in at the clinic in Kathmandu and lost our monthly takings (equivalent of about £250). The thieves broke through two padlocks and two locks to get in, so we’ve stepped up security now and started banking more regularly. No insurance in Nepal and there’s no hope of catching the culprits, we’re just hoping they get some seriously bad karma for ripping off a charity! The new clinic still hasn’t broken even so a loss was the last thing we needed.. but we’re dusting ourselves off and hoping for a better month in April. We can see a sustainable future for both clinics, but may just have to wait until 2012!
