Nepalese Leadership Team

We are extremely fortunate to have a totally committed, skilled, and savvy leadership team in Nepal.  In addition, they are just plain fun, warm, and likeable people!! We have known Pinkey for many years.  She studied accounting and business in college and is especially eager to initiate Income Generating Projects for those less fortunate.

Pinkey is married to Binod, a compassionate and capable man who served as our translator during the training.  Binod said this was this first time he had translated for someone with "American English" [he did an excellent job!!] which is more difficult since he learned "British English."  Binod spent several years in Saudi Arabia as well as sometime in Iran but is now back in Nepal ready to work for his people.

Martha is the supervisor of Hope for Himalaya.  Martha completed a three-year-basic nursing course, worked for two years, and then began a post-basic nursing program with the assistance of a HealthEd Connect scholarship.  Along the way she got married and managed to finish her year of schooling the day before she went into labor.  She now has an adorable little 10-month-old son named Marcus.  Next month she plans to go back to school for her final year.
