Archbishop of York sends message of support

June 2009

When the Archbishop of York,  Dr John Sentamu, heard about the work of New Futures Nepal and how six volunteers had raised enough money to fund two orphanages  he sent them a message of support for their charity walk taking place at Castle Howard on 20^th June.  

 “Please support the charity trek on behalf of disadvantaged children and people of Nepal. I give thanks for all those taking part and for the work undertaken to bring a new future for many individuals. May your fundraising continue to help support the orphanage homes in Kathmandu and Kalimpong.”

                     

A country in need

Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world and yet it is one of the most beautiful. It has been a loyal friend to the UK for many years and the Nepali people deserve our support.  Click on the photograph to find out more.

'Street Children' ... unwanted & fighting for survival!

We also donate to two Nepali charities supporting street children in Kathmandu.Thousands of children live on the streets; in shop doorways, cardboard boxes and drainpipes.  They are vulnerable to trafficking, prostitution and drug addition. Click on the photograph for more information.
