We had a very positive start to 2010, but continue to have much to work towards this year.
Four people completed runs (Adam Carter did the Brighton Marathon, and Kate Yarrow, Nina Haefele, and Alice Thomas the London
Bupa 10Km) raising nearly £4000 between them.
Lalit continues to excel at Nepalgunj Medical College - and is half way through his 3rd year. He
is finding is financially tough and is requesting more books and funds towards these. We are requesting that people either
donate directly to DFN or donate used medical books.
We are now affiliated with Patan academy of health sciences where our next
student has started. We are desperately trying to raise £7000 for the first year of
the first students studies, so please do support us so that we can continue with our
mission to train more medical students.
Kate Yarrow will be visiting Nepal in the Autumn, to establish the new scholarship system with Patan Academy of Health
Sciences in Kathmandu. Part of the visit will be a health-care needs assessment to the far west of Nepal; we now hope
to extend our program to include setting up clinical services such as a Doctors For Nepal family planning program; this will
enable us to get closer links to the Nepalese community, and to further help our student doctors in their clinical practice.
We fully appreciate all of the support of our donors, but continue to need more financial support - so please dig deep and
donate to help us better the health care in Nepal.
Thank you for all
of your support,
Dr Kate Yarrow
Chairman or Trustees
