Kathalguri Tea Estate closed in July 2002, but 80% of its workers and their families (around 8,500 people) still live there trying to eek out a living doing manual work, when available, in the area or across the border in Bhutan. The hospital closed years ago, but doctors visit a couple times a week and volunteers help to distribute medicine. The school only has 2-3 teachers for over 500 students. Life is anything but easy here.
