Long trek

Pinkey with RamPrasad

 This is the area near the epicenter of the earthquake.  Pinkey and her husband, Binod, traveled for over two weeks visiting the HealthEd Connect health projects in the rural villages of Nepal in March.  They had to walk the last 4 hours to reach the village of Gorka where Ram Prasad, one of the health workers, lives with his family.  Pinkey had to stay 12 days in the area because the roads were impassable due to recent rains.  The villagers, of course, were delighted to see her and to learn the simple  health lessons she taught and to receive a few medicines.  So many opportunities to bring health ministries where it's needed the most.
