Somber Thoughts


Somber moments

1)   walking up to the hospital I saw a family of 5 wheeling an older gentleman on a make-shift guerney (bicycles and a plank between them) up to the entrance of the hospital.  He looked unconscious.
2)   Walking through the halls I passed a hospital staff member wheeling a metal trolley with what could only have been a baby covered entirely by a slightly dirty, drably coloured sheet.

And then I remember why I am here and what this new school means to Nepal.
