Anyone still reading?

I received an email today from Lynn Topham. I want to post an excerpt of the email so that all who donated money for Bharat can hear the good that it is doing. There is much more that can be done in Nepal, so if you have money you would like to donate let me know.


Dear Eric,

We just returned from a visit to Pokhara Banjyang and you will be happy with some of the news. First, the little girl with club feet is in her third week and the casts look straight. She seems to have adjusted to the casts well. It is amazing but this little girl has bright blue eyes. Can you imagine. No one in the village has anything but dark dark eyes. Second, we spent quite a bit of time with Bharat and his wife. The store is partially built and they already have some items in a box. Ramesh and I bought some barrettes and then a little village girl came with her 5 rupiya and bought another one. The expressions on Bharat's face would have made you glow. He seems a different man. He is motivated, smiling and has a purpose. Since your visit he has had no infections, his bedsores are healing, and he is working out with his hands and arms. Left arm seems to be improving. They have mounted the bar very strongly and remove it when he doesn't need it so it doesn't bother him; not gorgeous but strong and practical. Actually I am thrilled with them. I think some of the other villagers are jealous, they think they want to be paralyzed too.
