Nepal in Recovery

While in Nepal, Cluny Sister Edel Rai, missioned in India, met a CTF medical team from South India. They were in need of someone who knew Nepali. Arangements were made for Sister Augustina Subba to join the group. The in-charge of the group were two Camillian priests and a brother.

CTF Report:

We the CTF conducted second day medical camp at Manbu VDC ward 3. We treated 141 patients. Some of the bedridden patients were brought to the camp by Nepal Army. They helped us and we salute them for the great humanitarian work done. We found even children with insomnia after the earthquake shock. Many couldn't even manage to get a TT injection. 

The success of today's camp was that we could gather many of the villagers in the evening and give them a health education through the help of Sr Augustina (Cluny) who joined from Gorkha district from the beginning of operation. 

Our service was greatly appreciated by the villagers. They welcomed us again to have similar programmes or even to visit them casually. We thank the Lord for His providential care. All the villagers for their great appreciation and support. Special thanks to Army men who helped us even to find cooking vessels, utensils and firewood.

“Nepal weeps... We pray to Lord our God might bless these mountains and valleys and all its inhabitants.”
