Wishing Well

The newly refurbished Wishing Well was officially opened by President Bill and blessed by Brian on Saturday 22 January 2010. It is now in a more prominent position and is looking good.

Nepali Childrens Trust

The new building is progressing well and soon to be completed. The following is an extract from the latest newsletter:

"We want the new home to be as self sustaining as possible.

As there can be power cuts of up to 16 hours a day, we will provide solar panels which will supply both hot water and charge a back up lighting system. The back up lighting system was designed and kindly provided by Looe Valley Rotary Club and thanks to them, the children no longer have to do their homework or negotiate stairs by meagre candle light. "
