1 CUP OF COFFEE = 1 MONTH OF EDUCATION

This is Ashma:

Ashma is one of my patients I am visiting every week. She is 9 years old and has severe Cerebral Palsy. She is not able to sit without support, to stand on her own, to speak, to use her hands in a controlled way and she does not have a special wheelchair or standing frame.
Because her family is living outside of Kathmandu, she is not able to visit the rehabilitation center and school.
Even though, Ashma is very restricted, she wants to learn mathematics and reading. Her eyes and her gestures show us that she understands perfectly.
Since I am visiting Ashma, we observed a great improvement. She now can sit in a living room chair and she already learnt some numbers.
For the future, unfortunatelly there is not enough money yet to provide necessary equipment she will need for toiletting and others.
If anyone is interested in supporting Ashma or other children like here, please let me know.
Leave a comment and I will reply to you and tell you how you can help!

AND REMEMBER: THE PRICE OF 1 CUP OF COFFEE IS THE PRICE OF ONE MONTH OF EDUCATION FOR THESE CHILDREN!!!!!

ESPECIALLY FOR YOU.....

You can find things meant to be
If you look hard into the sky
As the clouds are passing by
I feel her eyes fixed on me
Through the wind in the trees
Mother nature she speaks
Take what she says
Let your heart do the rest
It's in the wind
It's in the trees
It's in the way you smile at me
It's in the clouds up in the sky
It's in the way you feel
When you're pleased
It's all meant to be
It's all meant to be
Your heart knows where to go
But your mind can take it slow
It's okay to rest your mind
Let your heart seek and find
It's in the wind
It's in the trees
Listen hard and you will see
It's in the clouds up in the sky
It's in the way you feel
When you're pleased
It's all meant to be
It's all meant to be
These are things just meant to be
These are things like you and me
It's all meant to be
It's all meant to be
These are things just meant to be
These are things like you and me
Mother nature sings and breathes

BILDER

Zwei Grazien in den Tiefen des Himalays erkunden das Leben Nepals...







Auf'm Weg nach Nargakot ... ueber Stock und Stein, in die Berge des Himalayas.



Nach soviel Laerm und Verschmutzung in Kathmandu laesst sich die Lisa doch erst mal an nem friedlichen Plaetzchen in Nargakot nieder....


...und nachdem man sich nach einer schoenen Morgenmeditation die Gedanken gereinigt hat, sieht man durchaus einen klaren Himmel mit einer Aussicht, die einem nach Luft schnappen laesst!


Wenn man nicht in den Bergen ist, dann haelt man sich auch durchaus gerne in Kathmandu's aeltester und ausnahmsweise ruhiger Stadt auf. Bhakthapur!



Ansonsten gibts selten ne Strasse, die ruhig und sauber ist. Trotzdem laedt Patan, ein Viertel in Kathmandu, seine Besucher ein durch lebhafte und kleine Gassen zu stolpern.



Im Monsoon sollte man auch passende Schuhe haben und sich in Ausrutschmanoevern trainieren. Die Strassen sind so matschig, dass man sich seinen Weg suchen muss und man keine Chance hat nach links und rechts zu schaun.
