It is already week 2 and we have some great pics to show but alas, internet is intermittent at best so it may be some time before we these get posted.
Half of the team is in Kargil (about a day's drive from Leh) doing a needs assessment in some villages for children with disabilities. Kargil is a Muslim area of Ladakh and they do not get many NGOs or resources there, so our team is working with local staff for all assessments.
The other half of us have been in Leh working with the hospital here on their new "pediatric disabled unit". It is slow work, but we are making some progress. The work culture here differs a lot from home so it is challenging to say the least. We are learning how to be directive and respectful at the same time.
This is just a quick note to say hello and we will work on photos a.s.a.p.
Hope you are all having a good start to July,
2010 team (Lexy, Eileen, Beth, Marlene, Carey, Janice, Doug, Ross & Maureen)
