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!  The Nestling Trust would like to wish friends, colleagues and supporters around the world, a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy 2020!
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.

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.

Patients happily visit Melung Clinic for the first time this week! The clinic was inaugurated on 14th October '19. Staff have worked incredibly hard to make the clinic operational. It is such a very short time since construction was completed, so we thank them most sincerely. It is great to know that 93 patients have already benefitted from having a medical Facility now in Melung.  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.  The Nestling Trust wishes all our Nepali family, friends and Colleagues a most peaceful and happy Festival of Lights. may the warmth and joy of this special time rest within all your families.
He was unable to stand, move his hands, arms or speak in 2015. Just see him now!

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!

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/
