Lose your mobile
A couple of days' ago one of our supporters, Emma Triplett (www.hattitrading.co.uk) left her mobile behind in a Kathmandu taxi. Accepting the fact that the chances of retrieving it were just about zilch, she still got a friend to text the missing phone. To her surprise she got a reply. It had been found by a leading Nepali pop music star and TV presenter. When she went to collect it she told him about our work. He has now offered to conduct a private concert for the children. So last Saturday's show in Godawari could be a forerunner for something much bigger.
