Sri Ram Ashram in Shampur near Haridwar

Arrived here at midnight Wednesday, having missed the afternoon train and hired a private car instead. 6 hours later, we finally found the place. Beautiful place, welcoming people, in spite of the lateness of the hour. The children are quite fascinated with this new visitor. I assisted in the clinic with Andrea, a german nurse who lives here, married a local man and has a 14 mo. old girl baby named Isha. In the clinic we found 3 ticks in the ears of 3 different people, a strange, unidentified white thing with pain and swelling in another ear, infected ears in a fourth person, scabies, constipation, general joint pain in some older people. There is a visiting chiropractor who treated the pain. Fascinating work. I babysat Isha and looked in some ears.
