Nepal teams ready for September visit

Teeth

TT will return to Nepal on 20 September to continue with dental camps and school brushing programs in the Himal Jyoti school in Bhattedanda and the Shree Jalapadevi (SJD) school in Bahunepati.

Mr Mike O’Connell from the Critical Dental Company is coming and we’ll work with Bishnu and local teams.  We’re hoping the political situation won’t cause too many problems – the government’s proposed constitution has led to strikes and stoppages in Nepal.  Tough, as the country is already struggling to deal with the effects of the earthquakes.

Toilets

HH will work with plumbers – both international and local Nepali – to continue the sanitation works in the SJD school.

Earthquake relief

We’ll see where the villagers are up to in cleaning up after the quakes, and planning for rebuilding.  HH has developed methods of strengthening houses to make them more earthquake-resistant.

Fading eastern light over western NSW plains on re-entry to Sydney.

Tough visit to Nepal this time. Struggling economy, massive inflation, increasing suicide rates, fewer and fewer jobs. Small wonder the drain of young people coursing out of the country, mainly aged 18-30 years, continues to grow. On average 3-4000 per day.

Villages are emptying. Schools are closing due to falling numbers of students. Families are breaking up, leaving the parents to grow into either a lonely retirement in Nepal or face moving to another country where they are with their kids and grandkids but without their daily neighbours and local community.

It’s great to see so many beautiful Nepalese working and helping in Australia and other countries, and seeking opportunities they can’t find in their home country but the social, structural and political fracturing back in Nepal is deepening. The next few years will be very interesting.

Namaste!!🙏🏽 🙏🏽
