People can be so generous

Vince went to Nepal recently with a small group involved with some charity work. Once there, one Nepalese man was assigned to help coordinate and arrange the various visits and purchases. His brother was headmaster of a school that the group was helping. Although not many went to Nepal, the Sell for a Well community involves a number of people who help raise funds for the Nepalese project. Not long after Vince returned, the coordinator was a Facebook showing a heavily bandaged hand. He had chopped the tops of two fingers which working on his push-bike. He was in hospital for a few days and had had an operation. Hospital care in Nepal is as costly as anywhere else and the man had grave concerns as to how he would pay for his care. He had borrowed from relatives but of course that money would be expected to be repaid. Now, the people at Sell for a Well and others who are sympathetic to its aims have donated enough to cover all his expenses. In Australian terms, it is something over $3,000. Now, once again, we’re trying to work out the best way of getting the money there without incurring excessive fees. The photo is of students at the school.
