Activity in Covid 19

A Big Thank You to everyone who has continued to support the work of SAHODAR through prayer and giving during the time of Lockdown.
​We are now able to share a photo of the completed church/community building, all freshly painted. You may notice the shoe racks on either side of the door for people to leave their footwear before entering. 

The building has only been used once so far; the COVID-19 Lockdown has since prevented people from meeting in groups, but we will hopefully see pictures of it being used, once the crisis has passed.


While we have not been able to have any fundraising activities involving groups of people meeting up, we have continued to sell ‘virtual bricks’ and also had a Lent Challenge on Facebook, encouraging people to give whatever they would usually spend on the ‘treats’ they were giving up for that period.
We have also been enlisting the creative skills of some of our supporters to knit Christmas Tree Bunting - intended to be displayed and sold at an event at the Royal William Yard, Plymouth, on 25th-27th September. Please get in touch if you would like to get involved.

The craft fair we were planning for July has been put on hold for now, but we are considering alternative ways of selling work on-line.
Since the completion of the church/community building in March, we have been able to send a further £12,840 towards the hospital build - over halfway to our original target of £23,000. Amazing! This amount will be doubled with the Nepali Government match funding. Additional funding for salaries amounting to £4,325 has also been sent this year.
The need for better health provision in Garambesi has never been greater; Dr Shiva and his team continue to serve the local community as best they can with the existing facilities until the new build can be continued. 

Thank you once again for your interest and support,


From the SUK Trustees

Funds arriving, Tree Knitting continues.

A big thank you for the generous gifts still arriving in such difficult cicumstances . We have  £11,781.16 towards the hospital building . A further gift has also enabled Sahodar to help with wages. Although the number of Covid 19 cases in Nepal have not been particularly high at this stage, there is limited travel, as the country, in following others is resticting movement to contain what cases they have. Dr Shiva is separated from his family as he cares for the Garambeshi comunity.  The Hospital is coping with the number of patients who present with a fever and as yet they have had no one with the Covid 19 virus. There is some concern as they lack PPE (personal protective equipment) for their staff.        
Over here we are continuing with our tree knitting. Well done Barbara! (See below). The pattern is available from Becky, Holly or me if you wish to have a go .

First lets say thank you to Dom and Sarah for the bricks bought this week .Once our accountant has had time to recover from jet lag we will be able to update the number of bricks bought .
On the face book page we have announced that if we raise £23,000 by July there are funds to match this by the local Nepali government .
How about a Lent challenge !  
Instead of giving up something give something . 
The cost of a cup of coffee,chocolate bar,glass of wine or beer a week and pop this in the brick fund .
