The last 8 days have been non-stop, but the last 48 hours have been extremely busy, tiring, emotional and very successful

The Lisa May Foundation, Dr Kapil Rijal and the team of doctors and volunteers were honoured to be invited to the Buddhist Community Centre UK in Aldershot yesterday. They were graced with a poignant blessing for their safe journey and work. Everyone was touched by the warm hospitality expressed to the team and their families. It was the most moving expression of encouragement and hope for the people in Nepal and appreciation of everyone for their overwhelming help and support. We would like to kindly thank everyone at BCC, UK for their kindness.

Our 21 strong medical team and many volunteers helped to pack their bags full of medical essentials as well as dried foods, torches, sleeping bags and tents, all of which have been donated by people from the local surrounding communities, from Lightwater, Bagshot and Aldershot.

Team 21 was driven to the airport at 6.30am by a convoy of 8 cars driven by volunteers from the Bracknell Nepalese Society. Our thanks go to Binod Adhikari who organised this group.

At Gatwick we all gathered at the check-in together and Dr Rijal and his team wish to thank Mr Vicky Smith from Menzies who checked all the bags in and was most helpful and courteous.  Mr Ashok Limbachiya from Teamwork UK took care to load all the oversize bags for team 21.

Now we place our trust in Turkish Airlines to get them safely to Kathmandu and also wish to thank them for all their efforts.

We will be posting further updates on all the fundraising

Activities from all the schools, colleges and organisations as well as publishing a list of all the doctors who have given up their time.  We will also be giving our heartfelt thanks to a very long list of all the people who have donated and helped in so many ways.

LMF could not do this without help and we hope you can continue your support, as this is just the beginning.

We welcome monetary donations to our page but ask that no more food or clothes be sent at this time.

Thank you.
