Life is tough in Nepal

Street lady in Kathmandu

In addition to the ongoing political strife and the always challenging terrain, Nepal is now facing escalating prices.

Muna Malla, supervisor for the Hope for the Himalaya health program reports that gasoline is now over $5.00 a gallon and basic food costs have increased by nearly 30%.  In spite of the challenges the health workers are still bringing good health ministry to those around them.

Kathmandu is a reminder of centuries of enduring civilization.  The people struggle on in spite of the everyday challenges.
