'Trek with Purpose'

9/2/2020

Himshikhara, our partner NGO, is organising tailor made 'Treks with Purpose' through the magnificent mountains of Nepal, passing through picturesque Nepalese villages and culminating in watching the sunrise over the Himalayan mountain peaks. For those who wish, there is an option to spend three days taking part in a community volunteer project such as helping paint a rebuilt school classroom, connecting water pipes or creating a play area for children etc. The treks will help fund the running costs of Sarangkot Children's Home for needy and trafficked children. A reasonable, general level of fitness is all that is required.

To discuss please contact either Sue Hamblin 07973414601 or Mike Gaiger 07789557859

Help from afar!

9/2/2020

Great to meet members of the Nepali Association of Oregon, with John and Dan of Stone Circle Cider, this afternoon. Plans were discussed to hold a fundraising event this summer to help fund the Preeti Health and Birthing Centre Project. This is really exciting! The project when complete will bring medical care and health education to thousands living in a remote mountainous area of Nepal where currently there are no medical facilities.
The Nestling Trust are most grateful to Stone Circle Cider for all their help and support, and also to the Nepali Association of Oregon for their valuable assistance not only with this event, but also for helping to promote the 'Treks with Purpose'.

Burns Night - and what a great night it was! The Nestling Trust welcomed guests with sprays of heather, then 'Ode to the Haggis' with the traditional piping in of the Haggis delighted everyone who then enjoyed the 'tatties, haggis and neeps'! Pipley Ceilldh Band were amazing and dancers thronged onto the floor to dance the night away. The Nestling Trust would like to thank everyone who helped to make it such a fantastic night including all who came to support the event. Nearly £2000 was raised - an amazing result!
We would especially like to thank Fiddington Nurseries who again supplied all the shrubs and trees making the Community Hall particularly beautiful for the event.
Proceeds will help fund the building of a Health and Birthing Centre in Preeti, Nepal, where thousands are without medical facilities in an area which is cut off by snow and ice and landslides during the winter and monsoon seasons. here to edit.

Next Event - Burns Night 25th January 2020!

Krishna celebrates the New Year!

10/1/2020

Krishna - the little boy who four years ago could not stand, walk, talk, use his arms or hands, celebrated the start of 2020 cutting cake and sampling the results of a 'bake off' along with his friends at the SERC school!
We are constantly amazed by the progress little Krishna has achieved, and we thank the physiotherapists, speech therapists and all staff at SERC school whose skills, love and dedication have made, nothing less, than a miracle happen!

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year!

Site of the Health and Birthing Centre at Preeti!
A huge thank you to everyone who donated to the Nestling Trust Preeti project, through the BigGive Matchfunding Christmas Challenge.
We are delighted to say that through your generosity work can begin in January 2020 to build and establish a Health and Birthing Centre at Preeti, a remote area in Nepal where currently 30,000 people have no medical facility. Imagine having to trek for miles across difficult mountainous terrain to find the nearest health post, sometimes arriving too late to help very sick patients.
We are enormously grateful for everyone's support, which has come from as far away as NZ, USA and Canada as well as many places in the UK and of course from our local supporters in Wiltshire. Thank you for all your loyal support, for believing in us and encouraging us in our work in Nepal. It is through you that we are able to make changes to improve the health and the lives of the most needy, disadvantaged and marginalised people - thank you.
Sue.

It is great to know that 93 patients have already benefitted from having a medical Facility now in Melung.

Deepest condolences

1/11/2019

It is with great shock and sadness that the Nestling Trust has learnt of a tragic accident in South Africa in which Miranda Harris was killed and her husband, Peter seriously injured. Miranda and Peter were co founders of A Rocha, a Christian conservation organisation. Two of their close friends and colleagues, A Rocha International Chief Executive Chris Naylor and his wife Susanna, who were accompanying them, were also killed.
Peter and Miranda, whose home is in West Lavington, have given huge encouragement and guidance to the Nestling Trust, as well as being personal friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and friends here and in many countries all over the world. We pray that Peter, and the driver of the vehicle who was also injured, are given strength to recover from their injuries.

Happy Tihar

Krishna, the little boy who touched our hearts!

30/9/2019

He was unable to stand, move his hands, arms or speak in 2015. Just see him now!
Taking me by the hand he led me to see the fantastic play area newly constructed in the SERC school complex, designed for fun, but also to help improve balance and physical development.
Thanks to the skills of physios, speech therapists and staff of SERC school, Krishna can run and play, he's independent in personal activities of daily living, is able to correctly name pictures speaking over 100 words and understands simple numbers.
The Nestling Trust would like to express our grateful thanks to all staff involved in Krishna's care. Special thanks also to Bijendra, Nestling Trust director in Nepal, and Himshikara, our partner NGO, for their work in liaising with SERC school, visiting Krishna regularly and monitoring his progress.

Happy Dashain!
