We have all been shocked by the events that have occurred in Nepal over the last week. The devastation and loss of life following the earthquake and aftershocks and difficulties the communities face are hard to come to terms with.

Many of our partners and colleagues have been impacted by this. Thankfully all are safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with them all. We hope that with time life will return to normal.

Our project plans have of course been impacted by this. We are progressing field visits to West Bengal, Madhubani and Bangladesh in May. We have postponed our Forum in Patna to a later date.

The updated itinerary has been loaded in the DropBox account for partners reference.
