We reported how tragically Apshara's mother died when she was only ten days old. She lived in a remote village area of Nepal,and was looked after by her grandmother who was desperately poor. She sold everything to buy milk formula to feed the baby, this quickly ran out and without milk Apshara would not have survived. The Nestling Trust continues to support the welbeing of this child and is delighted to see that Apashara is now a beautiful healthy baby girl. 
Come and enjoy a fun evening! We look forward to welcoming you! See poster below for details.  Bharat Banscota past president of the Oregon Nepali Association facilitated a bilateral meeting between current President Narayan Gurung, and Secretary Punam Ghimire Lee, of the Nepali Association of Oregon (NAO) and Susan Hamblin, cofounder of The Nestling Trust UK at Stone Circle Cider in Estacada, Oregon. It is hoped to forge links in working together to help save and improve lives of those in desperate need in Nepal.   The Nestling Trust wishes all family, friends, colleagues, and supporters around the world a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. May the Peace and Joy of this special time of year rest within the hearts of all people.  The Nestling Trust is so very sad to hear of the death of Krishna's father, Chiranjeevi Timilsina, and send our deepest sympathy, to Krishna and all his family and friends. He was a wonderful gentleman, whose selfless generosity allowed the Nestling Trust to build a Children's Home on part of his land. He will always be remembered by us and the many needy children who have and will, find happiness and security within a loving home environment. His legacy - helping to bring hope for the future for destitute children of Nepal. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones. May he now rest in peace.

Peter Vaughan also intrigued guests with tales and legends transporting us away to the foothills of the Himalayas and giving tantalising descriptions of the dishes to be served. Music played by Andrew Hurst created just the right atmosphere for what was a very special and happy event.

The death toll from Friday's 6.4 magnitude earthquake in the western region of Nepal has now reached 157. The Nestling Trust is opening an appeal to help those whose homes are destroyed - their belongings buried beneath the rubble as the cold winter approaches.
The Himalayan Times reports: "Villagers in the mountains of northwest Nepal cremated the bodies of some who perished in an earthquake that shook the area Friday night. The strong tremor killed 157 people and left thousands homeless. Most of the houses in Jajarkot - usually made by stacking rocks and logs - either collapsed or were severely damaged by the sudden earthquake, while the few concrete houses in towns were also damaged. The majority of those killed were crushed by debris. Thousands spent Saturday night in the bitter cold. People used whatever they could find to set up shelter for the night, using plastic sheets and old clothes to keep them warm. Most people have been unable to retrieve their belongings from under the rubble." (Handout Photo released by the Prime minister's office of Nepal.)his handout photo provided by Nepal Prime Minister's Office shows an earthquake-affected area in northwestern Nepal. Photo: Nepal Prime Minister's Office via AP There has been a devastating earthquake in the midwest of Nepal. According to reports say that more than 150 people have been killed and hundreds injured with huge destruction of homes and buildings.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all people affected by this terrible disaster. www.nestlingtrust.co.uk.  This grandmother's love for her baby grandaughter Apshara (meaning Angel), shines through the grief of losing her daughter so tragically when Apshara was only ten days old. She is now a healthy baby thanks to her grandmother's devoted care and support from The Nestling Trust. The family live in a remote village area of Nepal in a marginalised community. They had sold everything to buy milk formula to feed the baby after her mother died - this quickly ran out and the baby would not have survived. The Nestling Trust continues to supply milk formula.

Tel: 07973414601 Email: [email protected] Proceeds from the evening will help support The Sarangkot Nestling Home, completed in 2018. The first major project of The Nestling Trust. It provides a safe, family-caring environment for destitute/abused girls of Nepal, giving them real hope for the future. They are given the opportunity of education, integrated into local village life, and learn skills within the Nepalese culture to prepare for adulthood.  We are delighted that already a 4-day update training course for Female Community Healthcare Volunteers has taken place at the Baiteshwor Health and Birthing Centre, which was funded by the Nestling Trust together with the Government of Nepal and inaugurated in May '23.
The FCHVs’ main role is to promote safe motherhood, child health, family planning, and other community-based health education. Their work is vital in the rural, mountainous areas of Nepal where medical facilities are so sparse. A valuable part of their work is to facilitate mothers’ group meetings, where women from local villages gather and discuss health issues. Well done to all those involved in arranging this training and to all those who worked so hard to pass the module. The Nestling Trust continues to fundraise to establish this desperately needed facility to help save the lives of mothers and their babies.  The Nestling Trust would like to thank Karen and her Mum together with all the Knit and Natter group who organised a great Cream Tea and beautiful Handmade Knitwear Sale in the Old School in Market Lavington yesterday afternoon. So much time and effort went into making wonderful, 'must have' children's jumpers, hats, mittens, toys and baby's shawls of every colour, as well many other knitted items. Thank you to everyone who came along despite the wind and rain and made the afternoon such a success. The Event raised £320 which has been given to The Nestling Trust to help make an emergency vehicle access area for the newly completed health and Birthing Centre in Baiteshwor, Nepal. This is a remote mountainous village community of about 12,000 people, that previously had no birthing facilities. We are most grateful, thank you.  Baby's Shawls  A wonderful opportunity to come and buy some beautiful handmade knitwear and enjoy a cream tea! The Nestling Trust (TNT) is most grateful to Karen Chapman and her Mum with the Knit and Natter Knitting Group who have been working so hard to organise this fundraising event at The Old School, Market Lavington this Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. Funds raised will help TNT to staff the new Baiteshwor Health and Birthing Centre, as well as preparing an access road for emergency vehicles. Do come and join us we will look forward to welcoming you.  Natural disasters such as lanslides are a common occurence in Nepal especially after heavy rains. Yesterday the track near the Sarangkot Nestling Home was blocked by a significant landslide which meant the girls had to find another route to reach theirl school situated about half a mile down the mountainside. Thankfully noone was hurt and no homes were destroyed.
The happiest of days! The Baiteshwor Health and Birthing Centre was inaugurated on 27th May '23. It is in a mountainous village area where previously there were no birthing facilities. Approximately 12,000 people live in this remote area of Dolakha, Nepal. The Nestling Trust is immensely grateful to everyone who has been involved with this project which has been completed in collaboration with the Nepal Government. We thank our partner NGO, HDS-Nepal, the engineer, Madhav Regmi for his commitment and outstanding skills, and all those who helped prepare the land and took part in building this great facility. We understand the huge effort required to work in such harsh terrain with basic equipment and we thank you most sincerely. The Nestling Trust is also very aware that none of this would be possible without the generosity of all our supporters - this wonderful achievement is thanks to each and everyone who believed this could be possible, and because of you, it is now a reality - thank you. 
Delighted to be back in Nepal and meeting up with our partner NGO, HDS - Nepal, a women's non-profit organisation. Thank you so much for your warm welcome, and also for all your hard work in helping us establish a Health and Birthing Centre in Baiteshwor, a mountainous area of Nepal without birthing facilities. I look forward to being with you as together, we enter the final negotiations before the inauguration takes place in Dolakha later this month.  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. |
