| Since the last update, there has been a slight change in plans.
CRS sent off 2 teams on 19 Nov 2005. One team (CRS-SJSM Medical Team 2) comprising Simon Ng, Dr. Jennifer Loh, Dr. Koh Eng Hoe and Cecilia Dierden left for Kunhar Christian Hospital. Another team (CRS Team 4 to Bagh) comprising Alwin Tien, Michael Sim and Victor Teo will be helping our local partners to distribute winter shelter items (tents, mattresses and blankets) to villages around the Mong Bajiri Base Camp, 20 km from Bagh town.
CRS welcomes back CRS-SJSM Medical Team 1 from Kunhar Christian Hospital and CRS Team 3 from Bagh. We will feature some of their field experiences soon on this website.
CRS will support our local hosts and partners and continue the medical work and shelter distribution through winter and into spring. However because of the uncertainties surrounding accessibility to the mountainous areas of Kashmir, CRS will monitor the situation and provide updates when the winter season sets in.
