1st Jullay in 2011












Jullay friends,

We (Lex & Kate) are here for a short visit this year to see how the pediatric unit is holding up after its first year in operation. Norboo and Dolma are stars and have kept it going in full swing! They see about 3 new kids per month and several ongoing visits each week.
After fighting the altitude lags, we have had 2 great days at the hospital and looking forward to assisting the team here with applying for continued funding for the unit... and when we get home, the search for funding for us to keep training will start :)
Some pics...
1) Dolma and her little boy Scaldon, now 2-1/2 years and as cute as ever!
2) Dolma & Lex in the new staff room (it has switched sides of the unit to accommodate the new adolescent unit- focus will be mental health education!
3) Kate-the-techy shows the team fun speech therapy games on her iPad- maybe we should get funding from Apple ;)
4) Passing by our friendly donkeys on the commute to the hospital...
