Great Faces (by Karen)

We met this couple while walking through the rice paddy. They were charming and eager to try out some English phrases while we practiced our Dzongkha greetings.

One of my many malnourished patients- this little guy is 3 yrs old and doing very well with our refeeding program. He rarely smiles but has the entire staff charmed with his puppy dog eyes.

This little cutie is recovering from Denge fever and her mother is delighted with her progress. The rolled up cloth on her lap is her "baby" and she takes care of it lovingly.


All better and ready for discharge from the hospital, many parents dress up their children in their finest clothes for the momentous day.
