Dearest Thinley,
You have made my journey to Bhutan a unique and wonderful experience. Your gentel guiding presence helped to reveal the heart and soul of your country. Please know that I am honored to make our connection…. It feels very deep to me.
I pray that our path will cross again and I pray for the health and well being of your special family.
Shalom my brother!!

Hi Thinley! we miss you and Tobgay. What a culture shock this has been coming from gentle uncrowded Bhutan. This country is interesting in a completely different way. Thank you again for making our trip to your beautiful country so special and unforgetable. Tell Tobgay Kuzu and Wai Jedda!
Many Blessings,

A class six school boy of Loseling Lower Secondary School at Changjiji has been washed away by Olorongchu stream. He was crossing a small bridge over the stream with two other friends when the incident occurred. His two friends managed to cross the bridge to the other side but as he was crossing it, the swollen stream washed away the bridge along with the boy.
The swollen stream also washed away a few huts.
People living in the area desperately tried to save their belongings. Most of the automobile workshops remained closed. Some of the mechanical workshops were flooded by water. Several cars were submerged under water.
The Works and Human Settlement Minister Lyonpo Yeshey Zimba and and the Foreign Affairs Minister Lyonpo Ugyen Tshering visited the site at around 11:30 am.
According to residents, this is the second such incident to take place on Olorongchu. The first one took place about 20 years ago.
Two German Doctors, Dr. Oliver and Dr Saskia visited Bhutan from the 11th May till 24th May and enroute Jomolhari Lingshi Trek had a full day of Treatment at the Lingshi BHU assisted by the the health Assistant. There was a lot of health issues like gastral, eye infections and anemia for the female patients etc. The two Doctors inspite of the hard trek the previous day sacrificed their rest day to treat some eighty or more patients from, in and around Lingshi. We saw a lot of happy faces at the end of the day as some of the patients were very elderly and weak to travel to Thimphu or Paro which is about four days walk. These virtous deed appeased the mountain gods and we had very beautiful and successful trek.
Dr Oliver Opitz and Dr Sakia Thiel in Lingshi.
