The BNMC club held a fundraiser on April 13th at Suncliff on the Lake in Derby.The goal: raise enough money for a TRF Global Grant, to provide 240 families in Nepal with latrines. (Eliminating “open-field defecation” results in a dramatic decrease in water contamination and disease. Rates of newborn and neonatal deaths, and the health of the entire community, improve.)
There was entertainment by the band Equinox, silent auctions, a 50-50 draw, a wine pull and gift-card draw, and sales of eco-friendly Nepali crafts.
There’s an award-winning VIDEO on the work being done in Nepal by the nonprofit Himalayan Health Care with whom we are cooperating.
If you’d like to learn more about the project, I’d be happy to speak to your club (virtually or in person).
