This is the day - Nestling Trust directors, Bijen, Subash, Barry, Mike and Sue flew in to Pokhara airport Nepal. and immediately took a jeep to Sarangkot. There before them, at the end of a rough track stood the beautifully constructed Children's Home. Four years before Sue had stood on that same piece of land, on the mountainside and overlooking the Pokhara valley and Lake Phewa far below. There an eldery farmer told her that he wished that land, his land, to be used for a 'social purpose', he was no longer able to farm the land and was willing to donate it - so began the plans to form the Nestling Trust and build a Children's Home for destitute children. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world with huge problems related to poverty. as well as many natural disasters such as earthquakes, flooding, landslides etc. According to the demographic census of Nepal in 2012, there are an estimated 30,000 street children in Nepal where child trafficking is rife.
This home will provide a secure loving environment where children will be cared for, given the opportunity of an education and the chance to regain their childhood. They will grow up in a village setting alongside other village children, learning Nepalese culture and practical skills necessary for adulthood.
