After spending the night working out what had just happened the day before, the SWAP Inc team were invited up for dinner to Santos house. Last year we were privilagded to a meal here and so again this year. One thing lead to another and when the time was right we organised to come back tommorrow and talk to Santos's mum concerning catering for the 2009 Australian invasion.
So on Wednesday we found we had a bit of time on our hands and we went around the hospital singing songs to the patients, nurses and those waiting to be seen by the doctors, and Monique, Shayne and Stephanie made balloon animals which went down a right treat.
After this we went up to see Sajeeta and Santo's Mum and after a huge evening in the street having fun with the kids we went in and negotiated the catering contract.
This is the deal, Breakfast for 7 days, includes fruit porridge, cereal, toast, tea, coffee and anything else that is avaliable, some days it will be omletes etc, and 6 lunches bought out on site , prepared and ready to go around 1pm, (meals include rice pudding with coconut, saltanas and something else Nepali but nutty and very nice, curry, dahl bart and various other delectables including Roti bread) every meal, will cost $50Aus per week.
And if you eat out of the SMH canteen at night or want to go somewhere nice for din-dins then you are really looking at about $60-70 Aus per week, and that is eating well.
The catered food has been negoitiated at a very good rate, because the idea of employing 3 people to feed 20+ Australians, and tradespeople to boot, is considerably a big job, Cam and Steve will eat most of that on their own.
Opps sorry, Tuesday morning we had Anupa come into the hospital for a diagnosis, she was a cerebal palysy girl that we missed last year. It was heartwarming to see the doctors go over her condition. (You can see her profile soon on the website). Unfortunately for this girl her condition is pretty severe, she needs to get her muscles relieved as they have just cramped up and she can no longer do anything at all, plus she has retardation. On the following Monday we are taking her to HRDC which is another hospital and we are going to get her muscles released which shlould bring back a lot of movement.
Wednesday morning we went back to MDAN in Panauti and confirmed everything that needed to be settled with the group. They were very happy with the results and this next bit is for those who want to know, Nirmal has taken a back seat, I think the MDAN people have had a good with him and he is very happy staying at the office in Panauti and doing that job, which is really good for everyone. It was enlightening to see the change in the man, we were all very surprised.
