Giving Thanks in Nepal

Svoyamsevaka explaining how a mask should be worn to be most effective

COVID-19 waves have hit one after another and our friends in Nepal are making sure that community members are prepared and protected! Nepal team leader, Pinkey, and local community health workers are distributing reusable masks for people in the villages where they volunteer. Well-known and well-trusted, the Svoyamsevaka (Nepali community health worker volunteers) make sure that each person who receives a mask also has clear knowledge of how to use it effectively. They also use the opportunity to teach other healthy practices for virus prevention, including hand washing. Below is the message Pinkey shared:

Thank you HealthEd Connect for your kindness, giving re usable mask to community people. It’s small help but very important thing in current situation. Trying to cover more areas and villages where our volunteers are working. More work to do!  -Pinkey Malla Adikhari, Nepal team lead

COVID-19 is not in the past yet, and we are grateful to our supporters, local leaders, and community health workers for their vigilance in keeping communities healthy!
