Summer at the Studio

Summer at the studio, the woodpecker is now a regular visitor to the feeders in the window, along with a cheeky grey squirrel. A Red squirrel has been seen very close to the studio so hopefully we can encourage him to visit us. 

The Studio is just the most beautiful place abound with birds and wildlife

Rasna - My new sponsored child in Nepal

This is very exciting news.......

Rasna Marjahan the little girl whose education Lakes Holistic will be sponsoring in

place of Santa Bika.

Rasna has been receiving help through Images of Nepal until a sponsor became avaialble.

Rasna is 8 years old and lives with her mother, father and baby sister.

 Her father is unable to work due to mental health problems and as such the family are living in an impoverished state.

It is my intention to visit Rasna and her family in Nepal in February 2013.

Rasna with her mother Asmita Maharjan and baby sister at their home in Nepal.

Rasna is in class 2 at Baishnavi High School.

It is with mixed feelings that I receive the news that my sponsored little girl Santa Bika in Nepal has discontinued her education and returned with her family to their home in the Himalayan mountain regions. The reduced threats on land owners by the moists means that those who once worked the land are now able to return to their homelands. It is doubtful if I will ever see Santa again, but wish her and her family health and happiness as they resume their life in the foothills of everest.

Santa was the first child I sponsored through the charity, I still contine to sponsor Puja.
