Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the much-anticipated visit of the Norwegian Mission to Nepal during the last two weeks of March and beginning of April has been postponed. Scheduled meetings with Norwegian Embassy staff and the TMLC management team in Nepal have been put on hold until travel restriction are lifted. We are monitoring the situation as it develops and are confident that this is only a temporary setback. In the meantime, we are fortunate to have coordination and communication tools via internet that allow us to make some progress, albeit in a less efficient manner than we had envisioned.
We hope to reschedule our trip in September, circumstances permitting, and encourage our team members, TMLC supporters and their families to follow WHO guidelines so we can all pick up where we left off as soon as this is advisable.
