## **Trustees’ Annual Report 2022.** The beginning of the year got off to a rocky start, the lethal second wave of the pandemic pushed us into Nepal’s third hard lockdown on 29[rd] April 2021. The Delta variant of Covid-19 devastated the country, pushing the transmission rates up to the highest in the world. There was not as much defence against the virus as the country had hoped with Nepal’s inoculation program being delayed, unable to procure enough of the vaccine with severe shortages of medical oxygen and other lifesaving equipment. Rapidly through the lockdown Nepal’s healthcare system was on the verge of collapse. With respect to the Pandemic, this last year was much more critical and destructive to the country than the first two combined. Sadly, many more lives were lost while the lockdown and smaller “smart lockdowns” were implemented through into 2022. The pandemic once again put us in a difficult situation to develop our infrastructure as a charity at this time. Like many communities around the world throughout the pandemic, many of us have been reminded what it is to be human and a humanitarian, helping those near us in such difficult times. In the pandemic I found my personal sense of purpose challenged when movement had been restricted. Nepal was somewhat reliant on the public looking after each other through the challenges it faced. During this lockdown, in the spirit of helping others I moved the father and daughter, whose education I have personally sponsored since I first came to Nepal in 2015, into my guesthouse due to medical worries. The father was recovering from his shoulder operation he had in mid-April, needing support with the operation and aftercare in the city, due to him living in rural village poverty, uneducated and being somewhat temporarily disabled. His daughter tested positive for Covid-19 the day before the lockdown so she needed to go into isolation at the guesthouse too. We managed to enrol the daughter into a city school so she could learn how to use a computer with us and start online classes, in hope she could catch up after a very bad year for rural village education. Although we couldn’t help directly as a charity, I passed time volunteering for my guesthouse owner in his mission to help his country, phoning companies with the will to any medical equipment for first responders and hospitals before stocks ran out, or they became unaffordable if people were willing to take advantage of the country’s health crisis, which we had limited success. We managed to source 3 oxygen concentrators, PPE sets and body bags for the local hospitals and scout groups who were starved of equipment while assisting in the collection of the dead. To be a little useful was a beautiful way to spend the time little could happen, for most of us, and us as a small young charity. While we have been quiet as a charity due to the pandemic, I would like to say that we have been very grateful to those who have shared kind words of encouragement with us over the last year, since our last project to build a rural school in Nepal was cancelled by the Mandandepur Municipality, Kavre, Nepal. Unfortunately, it was decided that the school would no longer be opening its doors again after the pandemic between lockdowns in 2020. It was heartbreaking news at the time, news we are still recovering from while the world rights itself. We are very thankful to all of you who have donated and still continue to support our future work. It will take time to find new meaningful ways to impact people’s lives for the better and develop worthwhile projects worthy of the funds we currently hold. We wish everyone the very best as we collectively look forward to the future in our post-pandemic world, and appreciate your patience and continued kindness. David Wilson.
