New custom-built massage couches arrive! We have finally found a good, locally sourced alternative to the couches we were bringing and shipping from the UK. They cost roughly the same, but are much sturdier and comfier and we hope will last longer than their portable predecessors.

This month we also invested in washing machines for both clinics! This has delighted our housekeepers, who were struggling to handwash the huge loads of towels and covers we get through in high season. Thanks to Nepal’s daily power cuts we won’t be able to use them all the time, but they should still significantly reduce the workload.
