Starting work in Dhangadi

So here we are in Dhangadi, following our trip with Buddha Air.  More photos here.  Stunning views and a very stunning landing through thick cloud.  An effusive welcome from Manoj, quick settle in to the hotel and then to the hospital.  The hotel is not quite as we expected, but am sure well cope!  The clinic is tidy and the staff - including a relatively new doctor - are happy to see us.  Litter in Dhangadi is a problem - surely a growth industry waiting to happen - waste management and recycling in Asia?!!  Quick ward round and back t the hotel to settle in.  Internet access not so readily available here altho we can use the FHI office.  Updates may be sporadic but will try and keep you in the loop  Thanks for all the supportive messages and best wishes - really means a lot.  Even having any internet here and mobiles too makes such a difference compared to my India travelling in 1994 xxx
