Healing Touch Worldwide Foundation awarded a recent grant for supporting Healing Touch education in Nepal. In spring of 2010, Level 1 and 2 were taught in Kathmandu, Nepal. The faces of the Nepal culture are many and varied: Indians, Mongols, Tibetans, Sherpa, and Europeans. The basic religion is Hindu with a strong subset of Buddhism.

Bonnie Kelley-Morrow, a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner and Instructor taught Healing Touch Level 1 with 25 enthusiastic students and a Level 2 with 15 students. The HT students included a 91-year-old nurse who is the oldest practicing nurse in Nepal, a doctor, a shaman, resident doctoral students and the remainder were mostly nurses. None of the students spoke English. The hostess, Aparna Bhutta is English speaking and interpreted for Bonnie Kelley-Morrow. Aparna is pursuing her goal to become a Healing Touch Certified Instructor for Nepal, India and Thailand. She is a recipient of the Janet Mentgen Vision Fund.
