Ruth's Ramblings

Map of Nepal

For those who have no clue about Nepal, here you go:



We'll be in Kathmandu/Patan for the first week (Hubby will be working at a local hospital there), Namchi that first weekend (sightseeing), and Itahari/Dharan the second and third weeks (construction work with the community, local churches, working with the Nepalese Leprosy Fellowship, and visiting some leprosy clinics). It's the only country in the world that is officially Hindu, and have been a democracy since the early 90's. Politically instable, there have been several travel warnings due to increased terrorist activities. Prayer is needed in many areas. More details to follow later..
