email contact: [email protected] Mark and Nancy Reilly are going to walk the El Camino de San Diego de Compostella. They will start on April 7th at St Jean Pied de Port (the traditional starting point) and finish by June 7, 2017 at the Church of St. James of Compostela. The distance is 750.5 kilometers/488 miles. Mark and Nancy are doing this to raise money for The Nestling Trust, the charity co-founded by their friend of many years, Sue Hamblin. The main project of the Nestling Trust is to build a group home (not an orphanage) for 20 children in Sarangkot, Nepal. This home is going to provide protection and hope to destitute and abused children in a country where human trafficking is rife. Just $5 (£4.00) would be enough to buy 1 blanket for a child's bed. Mark and Nancy hope to raise £1000. What a superstar! The most gruelling marathon imaginable - high altitude and Himalayan terrain, yet Tarjan stormed through in under 5 hours! The Nestling Trust salutes his determination and courage. Tarjan's great effort is directed at raising funds to help the Nestling Trust's work in Nepal. We are deeply grateful to him and to all those who have so generously donated - thank you so much. To date Tarjan has raised £1469.00 but his BT My Donate page remains open until 27th May '17 should anyone still like to contribute. https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/tarjansubba1 Bijen and Sue were lucky enough to congratulate Tarjan at the finishing line - Bijen feels inspired to take part in next years Nepal Marathon! Anyone else out there who would like to join him?

Watch this space for news of another fundraising event at Market Lavington Community hall on 20th September '14 at 7.30 p.m. "Thanks for the Memory" old style Music Hall concert.. Thank you to everyone who supported our first fund raising event, the Nepalese Supper Evening on 23rd November ’13. It was a huge success with over £14,000 being raised towards the building of a home for destitute and abused children of Nepal. Our goal is also to provide health care in remote villages lacking in any medical facility.
The evening could not have happened without the army of willing helpers. From the cooking of unfamiliar recipes to the erecting and laying of tables whilst miles of prayer flags were swept skywards, everyone’s enthusiasm was tangible. So to those people and to all the people who came along that evening, and to those people who were not able to attend but have still supported us, I would like to say a very sincere thank you. The response has been overwhelming and we are immensely grateful. A strong link has been formed between the Himalayan community of Sarangkot, where the home will be built, and our own community here in Wiltshire. |
