Today Rajesh (civil engineer), Himal (President of Muscular Dystrophy Centre Bhaktapur), Narayan (Muscular Dystrophy Association Nepal member), and myself had a meeting today in Darbar Square, Kathmandu over lunch in order to bring each other up-to-date with the going-on’s surrounding the plans for the Respite Centre, and also to introduce Rajesh and Narayan as they had not met prior to the meeting. The meeting was a great success as we put our heads together and collaborated ideas and necessities with regards to the land needed to be purchased by S.W.A.P. After the meeting was over, I arranged another time to meet with Narayan with the purpose of finding out what, if any, government policies we need to run under, what administrative forms are required by the government, what M.D.A.N’s (Muscular Dystrophy Association Nepal) role will be regarding the centre, and if there is anything else I need to organise before heading back to Australia.
