So, after I arrived home I got the news that our brand new VSN clinic for the Landless community was a great success, but that the Young Communist League decided to move into the area. They abducted the leader of the landless community and took over the office. So....we decided it best to keep international volunteers out of the area until it calms down a bit. But this abduction is not as bad in the past....they won't hurt him, just take a ransom. So, that was the bad news...
Other good news though is that instead we went to the four orphanages that VSN works with. Each day we examined and saw from 10-25 kids and some of the other volunteers taught about tooth bushing and washing hands. It was a grand success and we all had a great time. We decided to make little patient charts for all of the kids as well that they can keep at the orphanage.
Also, this week the teachers were on strike in Kathmandu, so we could do anything in the schools, and one day there was a transportation strike that shut down all of the buses, cars, and motorcycles.....
Sometimes we need a week that screams...You are in Nepal!!!
Have a great day....I come back to the states in less than a week now, so this might be my last entry....we will see....
