LALIT GRADUATES
Reflections on Nepal trip December 2013
Dr Kate Yarrow
I have just spent 9 days in Nepal filming a documentary for the charity, and celebrating our first students' graduation. It was incredibly hard work, but also the most the most rewarding of moments for the charity. The documentary will be released in April.

Well done to the Outdoor cinema event Sunday 25th August!
Update:
What a great evening! We raised nearly £1,125 - so well done to everyone who came along and to the organisers. Especially big thanks to Zetter Hotel and Townhouse (London), and Terre a Terre (Brighton), for their very generous donations to the raffle. Also thank you to Charlies' Buns and Gelato for providing such great food on the night.
We hope to hold further cinema events - so watch this space!
