The sun appeared to crown the afternoon at the Duck Races event at Meadowside, Little Cheverell.
The Nestling Trust would like to thank Vanessa and Darrell Reburn most sincerely for organising and hosting such a wonderful afternoon in their beautiful garden. Young and old enjoyed the excitement and anticipation of watching their chosen individually painted ducks, navigate their way along the bubbling stream, cheering them on to the final bridge. There were other activities for the children to enjoy while teas and delicious homemade cakes were served. 
Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to help make this such a lovely day and thank you to everyone who came and helped raise an amazing £595.52 to help further the work of The Nestling Trust in Nepal.

Bijen , Nestling Trust director in Nepal, has set himself a challenge to run a hundred miles this month raising funds to help establish the Health and Birthing Centre in Baiteshwor. His route takes in the sights and sounds of Kathmandu. Since injuring his knee and undergoing surgery Bijen has not been able to continue with competitive foob all. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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
