Local village raises £2,450 for Nepalese earthquake victims

Monday, 11 May 2015 20:04

A coffee morning in Kirk Michael has raised more than £2,000 for victims of the Nepalese earthquake last month.

A raffle and an auction, as well as the coffee and cake sales managed to raise £2,450 for the Pahar Trust, Shelterbox and Doctors without Borders.

The 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed more than 7,000 people and has left millions without homes.

Kirk Michael has close links to the country as it's twinned with another village called Ghamrang.

Kirk Michael's MHK Alf Cannan says it's important to support the country of the village's twin during this difficult time:
