In November we organised a music event at Islip Village Hall. We had 2 bands playing, The Oxford Beatles and The Old Blue Cats, both who generously didn’t charge anything for bringing along their masses of equipment and playing a fantastic set of songs. It was a full house, with lots of fun and dancing, and every penny from ticket sales, drinks and snacks and the collection buckets was donated to H.E.L.P. They used the money to buy computers and other school materials for the Shree Kalikadevi secondary school in Melamchi and uniforms for the kids at Shree Saraswati Basic school in Langarche Sindhupalchok, both in the Helambu region, which is one of the areas most severely affected by the 2015 earthquake. H.E.L.P. have just recently had the inauguration of a couple of new schools that they funded to re-build (seehttp://www.help-nepal.org).
