TT is pleased to announce that, after a 2 year hiatus, more information will be provided soon on the latest project activities in Australia and beyond.
In the meantime, 3 years after the devastating earthquakes in Nepal, the poorest of the poor villagers are still waiting to rebuild their homes.

Rural and remote communities, whether in poor countries like Nepal or in a highly affluent and developed country such as Australia, can experience similar issues that affect health and oral health.
Sanitation programs in Nepal have enabled rural villagers and school children to have a healthier living environment, where hand washing and tooth brushing are now a part of daily life.
There are no simple and quick fixes to improving oral health however there is relevant information and experience, constantly evolving, that can help us to improve our programs.
Prem and his son Zidan have instituted a daily lunch program at the village school in Nepal. Fresh fruit and fried rice today. TT more than happy to support this for the year ahead, things are pretty tough there now.
Soo nice to have the doors gliding easily again.

Tough visit to Nepal this time. Struggling economy, massive inflation, increasing suicide rates, fewer and fewer jobs. Small wonder the drain of young people coursing out of the country, mainly aged 18-30 years, continues to grow. On average 3-4000 per day.
Villages are emptying. Schools are closing due to falling numbers of students. Families are breaking up, leaving the parents to grow into either a lonely retirement in Nepal or face moving to another country where they are with their kids and grandkids but without their daily neighbours and local community.
It’s great to see so many beautiful Nepalese working and helping in Australia and other countries, and seeking opportunities they can’t find in their home country but the social, structural and political fracturing back in Nepal is deepening. The next few years will be very interesting.
Namaste!!🙏🏽 🙏🏽
New Year at Shreekandapur. A chariot with a priest inside carried through streets to temples. Accompanied by drums, cymbals, flutes, dancing, orange powder showers, energetic testosterone and great hair. Gotta love this place 🙏🏽❤️🇳🇵
