The Kings also have planned a head-on assault on goiter, a widespread medical problem because the villagers use cheap rock salt from Tibet that contains no iodine. They will be joined by nurses, midwifery students, and possibly another physician people who don t mind traveling on top of the world, along the road connecting Katmandu with Lhasa, Tibet. No one is sure what the population of Yarmasing is, although Magda estimates between 400-600 people. The Kings subscribe to the grassroots philosophy that the best way to help people is to teach them to help themselves, so they decided a school should be the first step. Although It took only four months to complete the project, Magda said it felt like they were building the pyramids.
