A Jesuit priest directing a campus in Kathmandu. A Belgian anthropologist at Louvain whose career was built on the encounter between medicine and belief. A Welsh scholar of development studies and crisis prevention. Directors of Tibetan medical clinics in Kathmandu. Practitioners in Winnipeg and Spokane.
