Ongoing challenges

Ramprassad's house

New challenges keep bubbling up in Nepal.  Our volunteer from Gorkha, Ramprassad Gurung, traveled to Kathmandu recently and had a long visit with Pinkey sharing his experiences of how the villagers and children are suffering. He showed photos of his house that fell down and said they are still living in a tent.  Because it's the rainy season, they will not be able to rebuild their house for several months. 

            He also said that many children from his village are suffering from an allergy that causes itching skin;  it starts in a small place and eventually covers the body in a rash.  Pinkey contacted a doctor in Kathmandu who suggested Calamine Lotion and a Sulphate skin cream and said the children should recover with 3 or 4 days of treatment.  Pinkey sent Ramprassad home with a supply of these medicines as well as a variety of other supplies.  Pinkey said Ramprassad wanted her to tell everyone how grateful he is for HealthEd Connect's help.
