The Nepalese village of Tang Ting twinned with Debden and Wimbish on May 12th 2007 in a ceremony at Carver Barracks attended by the Nepalese ambassador, who joined villagers in signing a twinning charter. News of the twinning was carried on the front page of the Kathmandu Post.
The English villages include a British Army base, where former Gurkha soldiers are stationed, and where Nepalese families have become part of the local community. Tang Ting is the home village of many of these former Gurkhas.

PRESS RELEASE
The Day Care Centre opened in Tang Ting, Nepal, from funds raised by the generous donations of the people of Debden and Wimbish, has provided an unexpected bonus.
The Day Care Centre was established to provide good quality care for young children whose families were unable to pay for child care during the day, while they worked. Children were taken to the fields with their parents and only provided with a meal in the morning and evening. This resulted in some 25% of the children being under-nourished,and some being considerably under-sized for their age.
