Conversations: Alan & Megan Barker - Working into Nepal

A conversation with Alan and Megan Barker (parents to Carl who is part of the Redeemer family) who work into Nepal - a great chat giving insights into Pioneering cross-culturally.

Alan and Megan Barker live and work in Pokhara, Nepal. Alan is a donor and funding co-ordinator for one of BMS' partner organizations, and Megan works in the field of Occupational Therapy. Alan and Megan Barker first joined BMS in 2000. Their initial overseas placement was with United Mission to Nepal (2000-2004) in Kathmandu where Alan worked in management and Megan as an occupational therapist. They returned to Nepal in 2007 to work with International Nepal Fellowship (INF) in Surkhet. Alan worked in management and donor relations, training local staff. Megan developed rehabilitation services, expanding the work beyond leprosy to include other disabilities, working alongside and training Nepalese therapists. They moved to Pokhara in 2017. Alan and Megan have three children who live with their respective families in the UK, Vietnam and Switzerland.
