For the future we will continue to support our long term projects in Kathmandu and Kalimpong. The day to day living conditions in Nepal and India remain difficult but we are working with our local teams in Kathmandu and Kalimpong looking for alternative solutions and ways in which to improve self sufficiency.
We will continue with our fund raising in the UK and Europe and will consider applying to other sources, such as grant giving organisations, for financial help.
As well as many small events there is another major event planned at Castle Howard for 2010, again generously sponsored by S Harrison Developments. We are also planning a second charity trek for 2011.
All the trustees continue to work voluntarily for the charity. As always, our lifeblood is the regular givers and we must increase the income we receive from this source if we are to protect and support more disadvantaged Nepali children. We will continue to move forward with all of our projects, following our objectives and working in partnership with local charities.
