Week 2: Kids & the new library!










Jullay friends,
We only have a couple of days left here this year and its been an interesting 2 weeks so far... we've managed to get some more planning done and looking at the bigger picture of how to improve the unit in the coming years. Still lots of work and training to do but this unit is an incredible start to what is possible for disability services in Ladakh!

Pic 1: Norboo and our excellent volunteer, Konchok, (recently graduated nurse who we really hope we can get posted to the unit once she is hired by hospital) doing an assessment with an 11-year-old boy and his grandfather.

Pic 2: Setting up the new library generously fundraised for and donated by Tamara Blesh, Traveling Librarian, (travelinglibrarian.org)

Pic 3: Cataloguing the new books- great resources for kids, parents and professionals!

Pic 4: Tamara, Kate and Dolma look through the new books

Pic 5: Konchok and Lex do a self-care OT assessment with a 13-year old boy

Stay tuned for more...
