As our adventure is so unique and remote, we wanted to help site visitors get a feel for it through video and photographs, as sometimes such experiences are difficult to imagine remotely. There are two versions of our introductory video: one for broadband and one for modem connections. This eight minute video was filmed and produced by Charles Sturge whose details you will find below.
The professional photographs below were taken by Charles Sturge in November 2003, and David Cayless who joined us for Lhosar (Tibetan New Year festival) in February 2004. If you would like to contact either photographer directly, their details are:
Jangsem goes for heart operation. Health project begins.
Jangsem is an 8 year-old girl from Bridim. She suffers from a complex heart defect, present from birth, and had just months to live. Dr. Sean Keogh and Dr. Christine Bradshaw, two doctors who were invited by Dolma to Nepal in February ’04, examined her and immediately realised that her clinical situation was serious. Following the coordinated efforts of the Dolma Development Fund (DDF) and of Sean and Christine, Jangsem has now undergone heart surgery at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Hospital in Kathmandu. The operation was a success and she is currently recovering.
