70 miles in 3 days - No problem!

21/8/2019

Mike and Barry in Training -------

An amazing way to spend the Bank Holiday!
Mike Gaiger's brother Vince would have been 70 this year so Mike and Barry Hickey have decided to
do something worthwhile to mark this anniversary. They will be walking 70 miles (Reading to Bath along the Kennet and Avon canal) over 3 consecutive days, 22nd, 23rd and 24th August '19. Should anyone wish to sponsor them please click on the Justgiving button on this website, as all funds raised will go to the Nestling Trust. TNT's current objective is the construction of a Health and Birthing Centre at Preeti, in the extremely remote and mountainous area of Ramechap, Nepal. For up to 8 months of the year Preeti is cut off due to snow, ice and landslides.
We wish Mike and Barry the very best of luck and no blisters!

Earthquakes rock Nepal

24/4/2019

Earthquakes measuring up to 5.2 struck Kathmandu and Dhading areas on the eve of the 4th anniversary of the devastating earthquake of 2015. Since that time the Seismological centre has recorded 44,000 after shocks in Nepal. Thankfully today there have been no reports of casualties. For more information read:

Tornado rips through Southern Nepal

4/4/2019

At least 50 people are known to have died and over 400 injured when a tornado ripped through Bara and Parsa districts in southern Nepal, at night on the 31 March'19. Hundreds of homes were swept away in the high winds and rain. Department of Hydrology and Meteorology say it is the first recorded tornado to hit Nepal and highlights Nepal’s vulnerability to natural disasters.
The Nepali Times reported that it proves Nepal has now to be prepared not just for the deadly calamities we know about like earthquakes, floods and landslides, but also rare ones like tornadoes. The Director General of the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) Saraju K Vaidya admitted: “Yes, all signs in Bara point to it being a rare tornado, but with climate change these may become more frequent, and we have to prepared by upgrading forecasting and computer modelling capacity.”://www.nepalitimes.com/banner/disastrous-management-in-nepal/

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and hank you to everyone who has supported the Nestling Trust throughout the year - we are most grateful.

A Big thank you to all who made donations through the bigGive!

8/12/2018

The Nestling Trust would like to thank most sincerely, all who made donations toTNT through the BigGive, to help us fund a Health Clinic in the village of Melung in Dolakha.
Our target figure was £10,200 but in fact we raised an amazing £18,118.75 during the campaign. We are overwhelmed everyone's generosity.
It means that as well as establishing a clinic at Melung, the Nestling Trust can now consider funding a further clinic in Preeti, an area of huge deprivation.
This area, high in the mountainous region of Ramechhap, has a population of 40,000 people. Many lost their homes during the earthquake and still live in corrugated iron temporary shelters. Snow falls between November and March, and the access road/tracks are cut off during monsoon time. There is no medical facility and a health clinic and birthing centre are desperately needed.
The Nestling Trust is able to help improve the health of families living in these remote villages of Nepal because of the wonderful kindness of people who encourage and support us – we are immensely grateful, thank you.

The chairman of a local village development committee explains why the Nestling Trust funded clinic in his village has been so important and successful

When a dream happens -------

12/11/2018

A Health Clinic at Chilankha in the foothills of the Himalayas was once just a dream. The only access is by a narrow track across the mountains - impassable during the monsoon season. But in 2016 the Nestling Trust working with their partner NGO, SITARA, and the District Health Authority, visited the area, and agreed to fund materials so villagers could build their own Health Clinic. It was completed later in 2016. The Trust has suppled necessary equipment and continues to give support to the nurses.
Jeep a three year old boy, was one of the first patients seen in the clinic. He was actually found during the clinics construction. A large swelling covered one side of his face - it had been like it for many months, causing him great discomfort. The Nestling Trust arranged for him to be seen at a hospital in Cherkot. He was subsequently sent home under the care of nurses at the Chilankha Health Clinic.
Jeep is fully recovered and leading a happy normal life. Chilankha Clinic serves a population of approximately 6000 people.

Marbu Clinic Creates Hope For Child

12/11/2018

Krishna was found through the Marbu Clinic, established in the remote Dolakha area by the Nestling Trust in 2014.

When found in 2015 he was unable to use his legs, arms or hands and could not talk.
Referred to Kathmandu children’s hospital and SERC School for Children with Disabilities, he receives daily physio and speech therapy, funded by the Nestling Trust.

He is now independent in walking, feeding, toileting and is learning to speak. He attends lessons and is learning to write and draw, knows Nepali and English alphabet and can count.

Without the clinic at Marbu this child would have remained an outcast with no hope.

Back in Nepal

2/11/2018

It is hoped to finalize arrangements with the Nepalese Government Officials to welcome children into the Sarangkot Nestling Home before Sue returns to the UK later this month. A meeting is also planned with Health Initiative partner NGO, Sitara. There is to be a visit to Melung village in the Dolakha area where TNT hopes to establish a further clinic in 2019.
