SUNDAY 12th

Sunday 12th
Whilst Katie was at the local hospital (IV fluids, meds ) with Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) the NSW team had arrived. Later that day Jenny R & Julene also had a visit to the hospital. It had been damaged by the mudslide and concrete buildings brought in and opened up to get it running again. The staff were all fantastic and good care was received.
A workshop was conducted at the Nunnery. There is an amazing Nun who has been working on raising the status of nuns and women since the 90s. We shared chanting and dinner with them. Dr Tshering Palmo spoke to us about the history and the future of the nunnery. She has a vision to bring women in from outlying areas for healing times as after the disaster there is a lot of depression in the community. Jenny R and Jo felt this experience was similar to one that their local Yoga group had held for women from the Victorian Bushfire affected area. They are trying to raise about $4000 AUS for a threshing machine to aid them with their production of medicines. Cost of a women per day at the retreat is approx. $2.50 for food.
