Thank you so much for this inspiring talk about the wonderful work you're doing. I've been listening with my heart and mind wide open and being touched by so much warmth and collegiality between you and your Nepalese team. I am looking forward to learning much more about your nomad clinic engagement and your social services in general. Hopefully, I will get in contact with you one day, not only online but practicing at Upaya Center and maybe one day becoming part of one of your beautiful medical and social programs in the future. I was remembered being part of a German-Nicaraguan public health initiative as a doctor for about 5 years, since I was in my 30s, while I was working as a general practitioner and a psychiatrist with homeless people at the local public health department in Cologne, Germany. And my eyes went a little bit wet when I saw all the heart-warming photos of your clinics out there in the Himalayan region, remembering the time when I was in Nicaragua with my local colleagues there. There is so much work to do and so many things to learn together and get inspired by, for me as a Buddhist, a doctor, and a human. Thank you again, and with y bow.
