A FUNDRAISING barbecue raised more than £300 to help support a Nepali orphanage.

Former RGS Worcester pupil Ed Turner set up Operation Nepali Child, which supports an orphanage –Sharada's Shelter for Children – in the disaster-stricken country.

Twenty-five people attended the barbecue and the cash will go towards supporting the orphanage, while Mr Turner said he could also begin supporting another eight children in Nepal.

Mr Turner, 24, said: "It went really well, we raised around £370 in the end and we've still got a bit of money coming in.

"The momentum is still going, which is what we need."

Sharada's was badly damaged during the first quake on April 25 and later evacuated, but fortunately the children were unharmed.

However, they were left sleeping in tents outside in rough conditions with limited food and water.
