From Kathmandu to Covid

Picture
“From Kathmandu to Covid” – an evening with Ian and Sally Smith, together with supper, will be held at Buckden Village Institute (pictured right) on Friday, October 20, at 6.15pm for 6.30pm.
Ian became editor of the Link parish magazine in May 2020 and together with his wife, Sally, lived and worked in Nepal for 16 years. They now live in Arncliffe.
Their talk about their life and experiences in Nepal and their work with the World Health Organisation during the Covid pandemic will be accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation.
The evening includes a supper of Nepalese food of curried meat and vegetables with rice and lentils and tea/coffee. Please feel free to bring your own drinks. Admission is by ticket costing £10, which includes a donation to International Nepal Fellowship providing financial support for health and developmental projects in Nepal.
Tickets are available from October 1 from Deirdre (01756 760296) or Alison (07342 655516). We are sure it will be a really enjoyable evening and hope you will be able to support us. Ring early to reserve your tickets which are limited by the size of the Institute so don’t be disappointed.

A DALES PRAYER

May the Father's grace abound in you
        as the flowing water of the beck.


May the Son's love and hope invigorate you
        as the rising slopes of fell and dale.


May the Spirit's companionship be with you
        as the glory of the golden meadows.
