Prem writes: ‘I came to know Clare Selley...... from my teaching job..... as one of my students for learning Nepali language and culture in Pokhara.  With our friendship, we also were able to develop partnership with NEPAL-ease in order to support Arnakot Community health post and organize free comprehensive health Camps. We are really grateful to NEPAL-ease for sponsoring Durga Kunwar with full funds for ANM nursing training and supporting Arnakot health post with salaries for 3 staff and funds for timely medicine. We could not have done this without your help!’
