However we are pleased to announce that the work to repair the roof has now started again and will hopefully still be finished in time for the wettest part of the monsoon season!
A big thank you to Subash who has been helping to oversee the work!
The work that had been previously started on the roof was put on hold following the two big earthquakes that struck Nepal.

A second earthquake has hit Nepal only two weeks after the first big earthquake which killed over 8,800 people and injured over 23,000 people. The second earthquake hit Nepal on the 12th May 2015 at a magnitude of 7.3. The death toll of the second earthquake is now at 200 people and over 2,500 people have been injured. Luckily all the residents at Khagendra New Life Home are all physically unharmed. It has meant they are all yet again camping outside. Many vulnerable and disabled Nepalese people in the surrounding area have also turned to the safety of Khagendra’s grounds to camp outside. The local people are all relying on Khagendra’s facilities which are putting extra strain on resources. Luckily Subash (Khagendra’s Outstanding Physiotherapist) is doing all he can to maintain hygiene standards and ensure facilities are kept in working order. Pictures: Khagendra residents forced to camp outside again for safety following second earthquake.
Eileen Waite raised £127 for First Chance Nepal at a car boot sale held on 10th May 2015. It consisted of a 5.30 am start on a Sunday morning leaving visiting family tucked up in bed.
A big thank you to Eileen's generous friends who donated items to sell. |
