Thanks to a very generous donation from The Jephcott Charitable Trust, our JSR Special School, Ramnagar, Nainital, Uttarakhand now has 2 new tuk-tuks! One is for transporting the children to hospital and the other will be used to transport food to the 100 children with special needs at the school, as well as goods made in the skills centre to sell in shops and markets.

Some lovely photographs received from our Brahmaputra children home for slum children in Guwahati, Assam where the children have remained throughout the pandemic to prevent them from being returned to their former appalling lives in the railway slums.

So happy to share with you that the Administration (Government) of Ladakh has honoured the villagers of Ursi for the successful installation of the Artificial Glacier, funded by generous sponsors through the Lotus Flower Trust, which has restored water to the village and helped change so many lives.

Despite the many struggles we face raising funds at the moment, nothing will stop us trying to help the children who attend this school, the Chaudhary Kanya Higher Secondary School, Mankua Village in Moradabad. It's a big ask but £100,000 is needed to refurbish the school which is in a dangerous state of repair. Can you help?

The Curse of the Bad Boss

Bad Bosses. We’ve all had ‘em, right? I’ve had some stinkers. My top 3 go like this:

1. ‘Miss Trunchball’, on the factory floor clutching her clipboard, who with a mirthful smile she could not suppress called out the names of each person she fired at the end of the day.

So thrilled with the hugely positive impact these relatively cheap and simple installations are having on so many lives. Invented by ‘The Iceman of Ladakh’ Chewang Norphel, Artificial Glaciers restore water - rapidly receding up the Himalayan mountains due to global warming - to villages who are desperately struggling without.
