Since September 2012 this has been a description of my annual (sort of) five weeks of teaching cardio to the first year medical students at the Patan Academy of Health Sciences in Nepal!

The result however was that all those old bricks (with the help of a talented local bricklayer) became a brand new wall to help keep the children safe inside their playground. Because the monsoon season is so wet Bishnu's plan is to plant rice in the field during the wet season. Once harvested at the end of monsoon the rice will be used for food for the children at Sonrisa. During the dry season the field will be converted into a playground with sports equipment and playground toys!
Today Bibiana, Jason and I along with the 7 Health Trek Nepal med students from UBC and 4 PAHS med students spent the day at Sonrisa Orphanage. This is a non profit orphanage run by our friend Bishnu Rai (www.sonrisanepal.org). Our goal was to begin the process of building a playground in the back lot behind the orphanage.
