In June 2023, I will be travelling to Switzerland to take on a triple challenge for a worthwhile cause. The expedition involves climbing a peak near the Furka Pass, biking in the mountains for around 100 kms, and stand-up paddling across a Swiss lake. All three activities that I have never attempted before. This event brings together an all women team from across the globe who are committed to creating a world with more environmental equity and integrity.

As this is a wholly self-funded trip, 100% of the donation proceeds will go towards the UNHCR’s environmental programme in Bangladesh to support Rohingya refugees, focused on youth-led climate action training activities, reforestation, and human-elephant contact management in the refugee camps.

Your support, financial and emotional (Ra-Ra messages are very welcome) will make a world of a difference. The physical challenges are well out of my comfort zone and my natural habitat (Singapore) but I am determined to make a difference.

Thank you in advance for your kindness.
