My Nepal adventure is about to change tomorrow as I am going to head into the Everest Region!! I am extremely exciting about the whole thing! In a few weeks I will load up some beautiful pictures upon which all can feast!
But today was also a very important day in VSN's history! Today we opened the Manahara Health Clinic. The clinic is two small rooms with very basic supplies, and a limited supply of some basic free meds. The most exciting thing though is that it is located amongst a large community of internally displaced persons who basically squatting on some government land about 10 minutes from where I live. This group of people have come from all over Nepal either to find work, or more likely from the Maoist insurgency or natural disasters. These people are very poor and live in small shacks. There is one “street” that has the sewer running through the middle of it.
Here are some pictures from the ribbon cutting!
Have a great day!!
