Friday 19th April at 7.30pm
Alan and Jane David and Chris Broome will be showing highlights from our trips to Nepal in 2014 and 2017, during which we trekked in the Langtang Region to the north of Kathmandu, and to the Annapurna Sanctuary which is one of the most spectacular treks in Nepal.
In addition we will be talking about our Nepalese friend Bijay, who we first met in 2014, and whose village and family we visited and stayed with in 2017. We will explain what life is like for a typical Nepalese family living in a rural community, and how since the COVID pandemic Bijay has had to find work abroad in order to earn a living.
We will also be talking about how we have helped a primary school near Bijay’s home village of Tamang Tol, by raising money to buy them some educational equipment, and how we have helped people in Bijay’s village and in a small community near Bijay’s home town of Bardibas, by raising money to buy food supplies following shortages caused by the COVID pandemic.
There will be a licensed bar serving Nepalese/Indian beer and a chance to taste some traditional Nepalese style food. The cost of the food is included in the ticket price.
We will also be holding a raffle, the proceeds of which will go towards buying more educational equipment for the primary school near Bijay’s village. Any donations towards this would also be welcomed.
Entry will be £10. Tickets can be bought online at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/bonsall-village-hall/t-qjkmodj or use the QR code below.
