<strong>Memorial</strong><br />

<strong>Hospital</strong><br />

Celebrating 50 years of<br />

service in Nepal<br />

Daily Miracles<br />

by Lincoln Morikone<br />

“S<br />

Sir! Bus accident!” I gulp and take a<br />

deep breath.<br />

“How many people?”<br />

“Over 100!” My stomach tightens and my<br />

heart races.<br />

It’s Sabbath. We are just concluding a<br />

beautiful Sabbath afternoon piano/violin<br />

concert. It’s been a most beautiful Sabbath.<br />

What a jolt.<br />

Lacking the time to properly express<br />

appreciation to the musicians, I rush to the<br />

emergency room. Villagers are dragging bare<br />

mattresses into the courtyard where rescuers<br />

hurriedly place the injured. Even though the<br />

courtyard is filled, there are not<br />

The Himalayas. <strong>Scheer</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> is located in Banepa,<br />

Kavre District, Nepal. Photos on pages 18-25 courtesy<br />
