I wanted to provide a short update to let you know that things are still very difficult in Nepal due to the flooding that occurred. Tejanath was able to send me a few instant messages this week, but consistent access to electricity is still problematic. It has been over a month since Tejanath and I have been able to have a conversation due to the difficult situation.
I heard again this week from the Nepali Federation from the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. We have not submitted the proposal they requested as of today's date. I explained the situation to our contact there and they were very understanding. This was the response that I received back;
"I understand the sitution may the life in the eastern hills are still difficult because there is still having heavy rain, However after Oct. 2008 I will be able to have a treak to there and visit the deaf childrens and adults there. I have been thinking to send there a teachere immeditely as the deaf childrens in the resource class there need to be needy thus even there are 4-8 adults I am ready to support them, as I know this is a remote hilly region of Nepal."
That's all I have to update on for now. I'll continue to keep you posted as I hear more from Tejanath. Hopefully he will be able to update soon on the local situation himself.
