The death toll from Friday's 6.4 magnitude earthquake in the western region of Nepal has now reached 157. The Nestling Trust is opening an appeal to help those whose homes are destroyed - their belongings buried beneath the rubble as the cold winter approaches.
The Himalayan Times reports: "Villagers in the mountains of northwest Nepal cremated the bodies of some who perished in an earthquake that shook the area Friday night. The strong tremor killed 157 people and left thousands homeless. Most of the houses in Jajarkot - usually made by stacking rocks and logs - either collapsed or were severely damaged by the sudden earthquake, while the few concrete houses in towns were also damaged. The majority of those killed were crushed by debris. Thousands spent Saturday night in the bitter cold. People used whatever they could find to set up shelter for the night, using plastic sheets and old clothes to keep them warm. Most people have been unable to retrieve their belongings from under the rubble."

He has now taken up running and with a great purpose! Well done and good luck Bijen! Baiteshwor is a remote mountainous area where approximately 12,000 people live without any birthing facilities. Any donations will be gratefully received through either the Paypal or Enthuse donation buton on ths website. Thank you so much. Construction work for the new health and birthing centre in Baiteshwor complete - work on outside access area delayed by escalating costs. This week the WHO highlighted the urgent need for countries in SE Asia including Nepal, to strengthen healthcare systems to help prevent, detect, and manage birth defects. The Nestling Trust together with the Nepal government has funded the construction of a new Health and Birthing Centre at Baiteshwor, now complete. Negotiations are currently underway with the new Nepalese government, for work to commence on clearing the outside area to make access for emergency vehicles - this requires a gabion retention wall, and for staffing of the centre. https://www.who.int/southeastasia/news/detail/02-03-2023-world-birth-defects-day-many-birth-defects-one-voice Huge thanks and many congratulations to Sujan Bhatta who is helping to raise funds for The Nestling Trust's projects in Nepal.

A huge thank you to all those who have helped achieve TNT’s June ’22 Jubilee Challenge! We've done it - our total is 5088.5miles. We have walked/jogged/cycled the 70 mils for every year of the Queen’s 70 year reign, throughout the month of June, that is 4,900 miles plus – AMAZING! Funds raised will help save lives in Nepal through bringing safe birthing and health facilities to 12,000 people in Marbu, Baiteshwor, a rural region of Nepal without maternity facilities. For more information or to donate see: https://thenestlingtrust.enthuse.com/cf/tnt-jubilee-challenge This is why so many people have joined the Challenge and put so much effort into Walking, Cycling or Jogging the 5088.5 miles in June.
We thank you so much! On Saturday 11th June '22 Andrew and Jordi threw open the gates of their magnificent gardens and welcomed over 500 people who came to enjoy the most beautiful surroundings. It was an idyllic, sunny summers day, the air filled with the scent of flowers, and a brass band playing near the lake as dragon flies danced across the water.
As well as the most interesting artisan stalls there were fun activities for the children, and the opportunity to dress up in costumes befitting the 15th century manor house, for photographs. The Nestling Trust is delighted and honoured that Andrew and Jordi have generously chosen to support our Charity's work as well as that of the NGS Charities, with this event. It was a very successful day with a considerable amount raised for NGS charities, the raffle for Ukraine raised £1000 and £3500 for Nestling Trust. We thank Andrew and Jordi most sincerely. We would also like to thank our many supporters who came along to help with various activities on the day - we are extremely grateful. Welcome to everyone especially those from New Zealand and America, who have taken up the Challenge to join the TNT Team to help walk, jog or cycle the 70 miles for every year of the Queen's reign.

In the new Health and Birthing Centre in Baiteshwor - due to be completed this June, £225 pays the salary of one nurse for one month. Baitshwor is a mountainous remote area where approximately 12,000 people will benefit from this medical facility. Previously women had to trek many miles across mountain tracks to the nearest birth centre, sometimes arriving too late. Fear of getting Covid in local towns has also meant that many women give birth in their villages, in unhygienic conditions. Most village homes are without running water, many have earth flooring, and most, have no heating. Funded by TNT and local government, the new Health Centre will be within easy reach of the Baiteswor population and, as well as providing antenatal, postnatal and birthing facilities, it will provide general health care and health education for villagers. Cost examples: £450 Salary for two nurses for one month £250 Delivery bed £100 Medicine cupboard £75 Oxygen cylinder £50 Privacy screens £20 Therma gun thermometer £10 Sterile suture and dressing packs The Quiz Night on Friday 29th April '22 was a great success. All tickets were sold and the community Hall in Market Lavington was abuzz with people enjoying a fun evening. It was the idea of Elliot Gaiger who wanted to do something to help the Nestling Trust's work in Nepal. Elliot is 14 years old and with just a very small amount of help from his Grandad arranged the Quiz which has raised just over £2000. It is a fantastic amount and will be used to help equip and establish the Health and Birthing Centre in Baiteshwor, now under construction. Thank you so much to Elliot for his hard work and compassion, and thank you to all our supporters who are so generous, we are most grateful.
