<p>Conversation,with wine.</p>
<p>A very long walk,over a short space of time,up hills wonderful,can I bring a Sherpa? NO </p>
<p>We have walked up hills before. Yes back to the nurses home in Bristol eating peaches.That was 43 years ago now we are old er,patently not wiser and certainly not fitter! </p>
<p>Why this?What we knew about Nepal you could write on a postage stamp.Everest,Sherpas and a chequered polical history. Now we know better. Poverty,poor access to fragmented healthcare and a poor life expectancy are the stark reality,with care of the disabled and disadvantaged way down the priority of need.</p>
<p>These two old ducks,scuse me spring chickens! wanted to find a way to say thanks for a privileged life working with families who can access good healthcare as their right.We wanted to fund raise for a charity where we could see exactly where the money would go So.....................Thank-you Helen for showing us what can be achieved in Nepal by the provision of a safe happy home and access to health care.</p>
<p>We know that money raised by us will go towards the builing and running of a second orphanage catering for both able-bodied and disabled children. This project will empower the local community to care for the children ensuring that they have access to education and health in a safe environment.Projects like this are an integral part of Nepal having a New Future.</p>
<p>Thank-you for visiting this page.</p>
