We have had enormous success selling pashminas to raise money for the women, unfortunately we have decided to stop selling them as rising fuel costs, the weak pound and other factors have left us making very little profit from them although we put the prices up several times.
If you would still like a pashmina then please contact our supplier directly through their website: www.fewapashmina.com

We will be placing the next Pashmina order on Friday 4th September. If you would like to place an order please get it to us by that date – the person to contact is Marilyn jmjaques@ntlworld.com.
All proceeds from the sale of pashminas goes to support needy women in Nepal.

Last week the trustees of WWR met together in the stunning Devon town of Lynton for 24 hours. As a result of the meeting they have a combined total of 49 actions to achieve and will be very busy for the next while!
Some of the main points you might be interested in are:
Marilyn will be taking over organising pashmina orders – her e-mail address is pashmina@wwr-nepal.org.
Renee will (hopefully) be visiting Nepal during February and March and will be assessing each of the women we support and ensuring they have a basic standard of living. She will be checking to see that they at least own the following items:
|
Bed |
Salt & Rice |
Jacket |
|
Blanket |
Large Water Container |
Hat |
|
Pillow |
Stool |
Gloves |
|
Metal Crockery inc Beaker |
Cupboard/Food Store |
School Uniform for children |
|
Saucepan/Stir fry pot |
Shoes |
Shawl |
|
Pressure Cooker |
Socks |
Stove & Gas |
|
Serving Spoon |
Thermals |
|
If you sponsor one of the women and would like to know what their needs are and what we will be buying for them, then please let us know.
Our income has crossed the £5,000/annum threshold and consequently we will be fully registering with the Charity Commission (at the moment we are registered with HMRC only for tax purposes).
Once Renee returns from Nepal we will be putting together a DVD to demonstrate the work we do and the plight of the women we support – we will let you know when it is completed so you can see it.
If you’d like to know what the other 45 action points are then get in contact and we’d be happy to send you a copy of the minutes…..!
