In happier news...
The students are making excellent progress (thanks again to Andrew) and are now extremely well acquainted with Henry, our skeleton. Their level of English is much better than previous student intakes, and this is allowing us to teach the course in more depth and really test their understanding.

Pictured is some origami (a basket and helicopter) made by Deepak (just one of his many talents). We now have a collection of paper birds, boats and boxes and we’re rapidly running out of paper for him to fold!

The clinic in Kathmandu is also doing much better than we expected – now we are into monsoon season it is actually beating Pokhara in terms of client numbers. We are unlikely to break even while the rains pour on but this is a very encouraging sign and the few clients we are getting are helping to keep Chiran distracted. Ramji has also temporarily relocated from Pokhara to work alongside Chiran until Laxmi is well enough to return. He is enjoying his time in Thamel so far (spending most of it playfighting with Sagar!) and is keeping us all entertained with his antics.
