Progress pics of the new rooms we are building on the roof in Pokhara. 

This extension will give us another treatment/training room, a private office/staff room with much-needed storage space and one more bathroom (which should help with the hand-washing queues!). Our contractor has promised us it should be ready by mid-March and we are looking forward to kitting out our new space when the time comes. 

 

We are still planning to open a third clinic this year as well, but building more rooms now will allow us to fulfil our need for extra space more cheaply in the short term. It will also enable us to move training activities back to Pokhara again from Kathmandu. Training in the capital did have some advantages but it was much more difficult for students to find nearby accommodation and make their way to the clinic for lessons.
