2017 Fall were team 17 - Josh Riggsbee, Sarah Riggsbee and Carol Scovil

Team 17 will spend a week in Tansen, supporting the neuro-rehabilitation program that was started through NepalAbility. This program now includes a 4-bed rehabilitation inpatient unit, so patients with stroke, brain injury and spinal cord injury can receive extended rehab treatment. We will work alongside our Nepali colleagues to continue to support the program, and will be involved in home visits to discharged patients, and a day to fit and dispense donated wheelchairs.
