 As we continue our support and help raise money for the Charity Seeing Hands Nepal, we will bring you news and updates. Rob & Sue Ainley who are located in Pokhara, Nepal and run the charity haven written:
Pictured is our fantastic new home, with its bold colours creating strong contrasts to help the partially sighted find their way around. The building process was not without its frustrations but (thankfully) it did not go over budget and took just five months (two of which were in the monsoon!) to complete. The students are delighted with it and for the first time can really visualise their futures as masseurs. Having a permanent base for the project has made a huge difference and means that now we can finally start rounding up some willing tourists for the students to practise on!
 One treatment room (pictured) is complete with an attached (hot!) shower and we are working on the furnishing the office/reception now with information posters and the suchlike. Next on the list is the signage but because our budget is limited, some things will simply have to wait, like our planned sensory garden with vegetable plots. We’ve got a few token spinach plants and cauliflowers in but it’s the wrong time of year for growing here really. (Only mad Englishmen start gardening in the middle of winter!) Still, we’ve very excited about planting all sorts of wonderful things in future such as guava, papaya, orange and banana trees!
We will be continuing to raise money through the sale of our Premier Standard Yoga Mat and other charity events throughout the year. Thank you for your support. For more information on the Charity, please click here. |
