A couple from Germany, Jeannine and Rolf, had arrived two days before with the plan to care Sylviander House and our three cats during our travel to Germany. They both also consulted Dr. Dorjee.
Rolf, an ayurvedic practitioner interested in the work of the tibetan doctors, later joined the consultations with the patients.

One day, Alexander‘s elder brother Johny came to get a check up by the tibetan doctors, and afterwards Alexander showed him some yoga exercises by practicing together.
Finally on the last day, just before everybody would leave to different destinations, we called for a group picture …
It took quite some time until all had gathered, until we are nearly complete …
… only Moojoo was not in the mood for a picture!
