Follow-up of the hygiene program started by Charlotte in 2013-2014, the number of patients and of daily meals have noticing increased, thus a kitchen enlargement was necessary.

For the moment, dishes are hand washed with cold water, thus not sanitarily. We have planned to extend the kitchen and to buy an industrial dishwasher with a stainless steel side table. Following the 2015 earthquake, the kitchen-modernizing project had to be postponed to 2017.

2014

The last year has been marked by a great loss for all of us. The passing of our dear friend and member of the administration council, Mme Charlotte Pfeiffer-Quaring left a great void for all who loved her and knew her well.

During the latest general assembly, two new members were unanimously elected to reinforce the council: Mme Charlotte Godzwieski and Mr Egide Urbain, who already distinguished themselves in the past by their relentless commitment.

The volunteer charter, signed by president Claus Lampertz underlines the importance to our association of the voluntary aspect of our work. We`re are not paying salaries, nor rent and administration fees are limited to a strict minimum, namely 1.244,23eur., for the purchase of stamps, paper, envelopes, insurance fees and formation fees.

Our participation in different markets and the organization of various events allowed us to collect a total of 3.703,30 eur.

2013

Purchase of medical stuff: With the help of the Luxemburgish government we were able to purchase for the sum of 81 302,49 € a brilliancy amplifier for the orthopedic department, 10 lead aprons, 3 halothane nebulizer, 3 isoflurane nebulizer and 3 surgical aspirators.

From the month of august, our young and dynamic volunteering dietician Charlotte will go back to Nepal at the request of the Dhulikhel Hospital . She will stay for 1 year to arrange a dietary service, to train the staff, to improve the overall hygiene and hold classes for the students at the medical institute. The costs for her stay will be split. Dhulikhel Hospital will offer an accommodation and pay the visa fee. NepaliMed will contribute the plane ticket, the additional risk insurance and a little pocket money. We are still looking for sponsors who help us finance this project and support this young woman during her one year volunteering work.

Shipment of a container with medical equipment. A few are donations of Luxemburgish doctors and hospitals. We are very grateful for their help.
