Grateful.

Almost a week has past since I began working as a practitioner with the Acupuncture Relief Project in Chapagoan, Nepal.  Although I can't find the words to adequately describe the experience so far, I did want to express how grateful I am for all of you that have supported the project and my participation.  So,  today I chose to share a few pictures of my own and provide two resources that also capture what this experience is about.  Since our arrival the team of practitioners has been being filmed for a short documentary about the project. Tristan Stoch is a videographer and documentary film maker from Portland, OR and has done a remarkable job capturing the essence of this journey so far via video and photography.  Please take a look at his blog for a unique visual prospective about his experience with the project thus far.  http://tristanstoch.tumblr.com/. The Acupuncture Relief  Project's blog site also provides first hand accounts of practioners' recent experiences with the clinic along with some great photos of the clinic and surrounding area. http://www.acupuncturereliefproject.org/news-blog. Once again, thank you for supporting me with this adventure.  I hope you enjoy the resources as much as I enjoying sharing them with you!
