Press release from: Bring Back The Smile To Nepal

Anna Gurung, founder of the Perthshire charity Bring Back The Smile To Nepal, may still be celebrating an invitation to The Queen’s Royal Garden Party, but she still found time to undertake a fundraising 165ft abseil from the Forth Rail Bridge on Sunday.

The abseil, from the iconic rail bridge in Edinburgh, saw Anna take the 165ft leap to the rocks below.

“It was actually more terrifying than the parachute jump I did last year! Climbing over the barrier, to begin with, is the scariest thing I’ve ever done.”, said Anna, “However, it was really worth it. We raised £1,161 towards our current project in Nepal, to completely rebuild the entire village of Archanbas. We had only set a target of £500, so to raise this much is fantastic!”

“We have almost completed 11 houses in the village – but we want to finish the entire village, before the weather changes. That’s why I decided to attempt this abseiling challenge.”, explained Anna, “We couldn’t have done it, though, without all the amazing support we’ve received. Thank you so much to everyone that donated and who supported me with words of encouragement.”

The charity has lots planned for the year ahead too. If you would like keep upto date with Anna’s charity, visit www.bringbackthesmiletonepal.org or the charity’s facebook and twitter pages.

Bring Back The Smile To Nepal is dedicated to helping the people of Nepal respond and recover from the Earthquake of 2015.
The charity is actively assisting remote village communities in Nepal, who may otherwise never receive help, to rebuild their homes and their lives. The projects are personally overseen, supervised and carried out under the supervision of the charity’s onsite team of volunteers.
Bring Back The Smile To Nepal is a UK based charity registered in Scotland. The charity was founded by Anna & Sanu Gurung of Perthshire in Scotland.
We aim to give hope, help and homes to some of the poorest and most remote communities in Nepal.

Johansson Projects presents Vampires & Wolf Men featuring Anna Fidler
Age-old folklore renders a vampire's reflection invisible. Anna Fidler suggests that when a post-internet vampire faces the mirror, its simulacrum glitches like a psychedelic computer virus. The exhibition "Vampires and Wolf Men" combines Fidler's traditional taste for exploring supernatural energies with a vampire's taste for blood. She revamps portraits of suspicious looking individuals from the 19th and early 20th centuries, giving them the electric glow of one who has stolen
