Free Health Camp and Medicine Distribution at Butterfly Foundation

The Butterfly Foundation, a non-profit charity that supports under privileged and low income families in Nepal, held its sixth Free Health Camp at the Butterfly Childcare Centre on Monday, 7th March.
Nepali Dr. Hom Prasad Neupane and Dr. Lok Raj Pahari, in partnership with Australian Dr. Michael Johnston, gave free medical consultations and medicine to over 70 children and students from the Butterfly Childcare Centre, the Ward Centre, Shree Tal Barahi School and Fewa Boarding School in Pokhara. Most children were found to be in good health. However, children requiring further medical assistance, visit Fewa City Hospital.
Many thanks to the Volunteers Colleen Macaulay (Zimbabwe), Karolina Kozlowicz (Poland), Michael Wall (Canada), Nuccia Rantieri (Australia) and Daniel (Korea) and Butterfly foundation Staffs who assisted the doctors with processing, recording information and measuring height and weight. We also thank Keshab Raj Pahari(M.D),Khem Raj Dahal(Secretary) for coming forward for assisting this program. The program was extremely successful.

It was established in 2003 by Govinda Raj Pahari together with the board members from the community and is supported by the Butterfly Lodge. The Foundation carries out charity work in Nepal to provide children schools, educational and social support to families in need.
