Big thanks to the British Army Gurkha regiment for sending two of their men in a landrover to collect Corin from Melamchi Ghyang yesterday and drive him down to Kathmandu. It was a long day for them, 15 hours in total on very difficult roads. Setting out mid afternoon Corin first had to walk with his bags one and a half hours down to Nakote village, with the help of a porter, as the road had been blocked to prevent access into that village. 
He is now waiting in Kathmandu for news of flights back to the UK, hopefully later this week.  
We'll also be updating in due course on the work and support the charity has been able to contribute to Melamchi Ghyang School during this visit, despite it being cut short due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Sadly arrangements are being made for Corin to return to the UK ahead of his planned date due to the COVID-19 outbreak, now worldwide.  At the time of posting Nepal has gone into total lockdown and the UK government have advised all their citizens overseas to make their way back to the UK.  While he waits for further information regarding transport arrangements Corin has been working on the schools administration software in the mornings and in the afternoons helping head teacher Purna Gautum and others from the village construct the framework for a new greenhouse.
