New Things
Thanks to a fantastic April and May at both clinics (Kathmandu has now broken even!) the project has also generated (itself!) some extra spending money for some much needed new things. We have now got a new generator for Pokhara (our 3yr old one spluttered its last gasp a few weeks ago) and had stairs made for easier access to the roof, in line with our future plans to build a basic room up there (now we are using all 3 rooms, secure storage space is at a premium!). We’ve also bought an outside table, chairs and shade, as with 8 therapists, staff and guests we are rapidly running out of places for everybody to sit! In Kathmandu we’ve splashed out on a water filter (the tap water was beyond brackish and not healthy to wash in) and a new skeleton for the forthcoming training programme, who we have named Henry, as sadly George was just too broken and inarticulate for our needs.
