After Nepal

On Wednesday of the first week, my dad will fly to Bhopal to meet up with an Indian heart surgeon he has worked with in the past. I'll be going to an area near the headwaters of the Ganges River to visit an orphanage and ashram near Haridwar and then to Rishikesh. One week later I'll meet up with my dad in Miraj where he will be working with a cardiothoracic surgery team at Wanless hospital, consulting. I will be volunteering in a nursing capacity as needed and learning more about what medications, supplies and services are available locally for hospice patients in preparation for my efforts to help start a hospice program in the nearby city of Sangli.
