Story
This march, seven second year Highlands College Sport students will be embarking upon a community project in a small village in Nepal that was devastated by the 2015 earthquake.
Mikayla Byrne, Jazmyn Mauger, James Withers, Ross Limbrick, Sarah Pointon, Ty Petrovic, Joni Gorman and Kyle Corbin will spend 2 weeks executing their knowledge and skills by implementing a sport and English project at the Gyan Jyoti Higher Secondary School in the remote village of Lapsibot.
Working in conjunction with the Gurkha Welfare Trust Jersey, the students, along with three Highlands College staff members, will arrive in Nepal on Monday 12th March, where work will begin on further developing the school and community project which was funded by the Gurkha Welfare Trust Jersey and Jersey Overseas Aid.
While students are expected to raise their own funds, Highlands College is trying to raise £5,000 through this page, as well as through fundraising and awareness events, to subsidise the cost of the trip. The estimated cost for each student is £2,200, which includes flights to Jersey-London-Kathmandu-Pokhara, plus travel in Nepal, food and accommodation. Please dig deep and give anything you can to support our fantastic students in giving back to communities in need.

7 years agoThank you to Sarah Bailey from BBC Radio Jersey who came to Highlands College this morning to interview our students ahead of their trip to Nepal. You can listen to the interview on tomorrow morning's breakfast show (around 7:45am) to hear what they had to say! We'll also post a link here to listen-again once the interview has gone live.
