PRESS RELEASE
At this time of year when the villages of Debden and Wimbish have had to endure sad news from the barracks, bad news in the national press and cold snowy weather it is encouraging to be able to report some heart warming news from Tang Ting where our villages have contributed to the building of the children’s day care centre and continue to support the running costs via the Tang Ting Twinning Association fundraising events.

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.
