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.
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 Nestling Trust would like to thank Vanessa and Darrell Reburn most sincerely for organising and hosting such a wonderful afternoon in their beautiful garden.

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. Health and Birthing Centre - work on a retention wall for emergency vehicle access continues.This is Nepal in the remote mountainous areas, and this, with lack of mechanisation, is the effort and determination of local village builders. The Baiteshwor Health and Birthing Centre is complete but work still continues to make a retention wall in the mountainside for emergency vehicle access. The Nestling Trust has huge respect for those undertaking this work and for what has already been achieved through sheer hard work and the resilience of the Nepalese people.

All proceeds to help further the work of The Nestling Trust It is with great sadness that The Nestling Trust learnt today of the death of Queen Elizabeth 11.
She devoted her life to the service of the people and was the longest-ever reigning monarch of our country. For an incredible 70 years she has been Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth and was highly respected around the world, setting the highest standards of dignity, commitment and humility. Above all it was her ability to communicate with people, putting them at ease with her warmth and genuine interest. The Nestling Trust would like to express our deepest gratitude as we say, 'Thank you Your Majesty for your devotion and wonderful example to us all." We offer our sincere condolences to all the Royal Family at this time of such grief. Long live King Charles 111. |
