Susan Erdmann, board member, Penny Lyons, executive director, and Heather Wardle, development director are all on the road doing a series of Seva shows in Victoria, Nanaimo and on Gabriola. Susan Erdmann, still in culture shock and jetlagged from her recent sojourn in far west Nepal, is having trouble adjusting to Western bathroom facilities and mattresses. She's not used to hot water (well, running water for that matter), electricity and flush toilets. She still has trouble putting paper down the toilet; what's that about?! The sum total of Susan's expenses for her two weeks in far west Nepal, where she was photographing the primary eye care centres for Seva, were $157.00. Her most expensive room was $4! Tonight in Victoria Susan will present her show for donors on the eye camps in Tibet which she photographed, at her own expense, in 2007. Yay Susan!
