Vajra Varahi Healthcare Clinic

Twenty one days and one hundred and seventy seven treatments later I find myself at the midpoint of my journey here in Nepal.  At this point, I still find myself attempting to make sense of this experience and struggle to find the words to describe what has transpired during this short period of time.  Furthermore,  I have not yet successfully attached or adopted a deeper meaning or understanding to my participation with this project.  I'm beginning to realize that the finding some of these answers may take some time..maybe years.  With three weeks left here at the clinic its hard to imagine that with the remaining time that anymore incredible and enlightening experiences could be possible.  I guess I will know here soon!  Until the time comes when I can adequately describe my existence and stories here in Nepal and at the Varjra Varahi Healthcare Clinic, I will continue to share some of the pictures that visually reflect my experience.  I hope you enjoy them and that they help in keeping my connection with all of you that supported me in this cause. I look forward to sharing more detailed stories soon.

The interpreters at the clinic are incredibly hard working and amazing individuals.
