January 2021: COVID-19 Update

Take a short tour of Tamagi. Click on the full screen symbol in lower right hand corner to get a better view.

As mentioned in our last post nearly a year ago, our scheduled TMLC activities at Tamagi, Kaski were disrupted and put on hold due to the global COVID-19 surge. Faced with changing travel restrictions and in order to ensure the health and safety of everyone involved, our scheduled project mission’s visit to Nepal in March/April 2020 from Norway was, regrettably,  postponed.

2020 has been a year of uncertainty and 2021 – although we see light at the end of the tunnel – promises to be equally unpredictable. We are, however, confident that containment strategies designed to limit spread of the Coronavirus and its mutated variants combined with the prospects of a (hopefully) equitable distribution of effective vaccines will enable us to resume work on the TMLC project at some point later this year or early 2022. Our commitment and strategy to give continuation of this unique village-based project remain unchanged and the required infrastructure is in place. As soon as the COVID-19 situation in Nepal and in Norway permit, project work will be resumed! In the interim updates will be posted on this web site so please check in occasionally. We also welcome your comments and suggestions.

While we all wait for our next visit to Tamagi, we hope this informal hand-held camera & drone ‘unguided tour’ of Tamagi will remind us of the cultural significance of the village as well as its breathtaking surroundings.
