Helen in India 2

Hello from Duncan Hospital, Raxaul! I had good and safe journey here, and all my (slightly heavy!) luggage was allowed on with me. As I reached the Nepal-India border there was a 'strike' which meant that they were not allowing people across; but when they saw our Hospital vehicle, they just waved us over, much to our relief. The Community Rehab team has grown and are very busy with lots of disabled children being referred for therapy and help the whole time. Yesterday we went out to the villages and saw 12 children (and their families and friends - I counted 54 who turned up to watch at one house!). They brought 3 new children while we were there. It was so encouraging to see how the 2 Field Workers who we had worked with last time, Silas and Ranjeet, had remembered all we had taught them, and are now putting it into practice with new ideas of their own. They are keen for new knowledge and also want to learn how to train others. Please pray for ...  safety on motor bikes; traffic & roads even more horrendous with big border traffic jams since the Nepal situation has eased less mozzie bites! sleep (v. hard bed & pillows, v. noisy train horns dogs etc) being able to communicate all that's needed for training the 3 boys (one just left, too bad!) that they'd be able to recruit more staff, there's too much work!
