Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Myself, Margaret (old school pal) her brother Pete are fundraising for Classrooms in the Clouds.
Me and Margaret have been long time friends for over 45 years and she has also been a massive supporter of the work that I have done in Nepal
I have been to the Solukhumdu/Everest region of Nepal more than 18 times now at my own expense. I am passionate about creating libraries in rural villages to enhance the education of the children and to give them a learning experience.
From leaving UK, can take up to 4 days to reach one of the village's. It's not an easy journey.
Many of the children walk up to 2hrs to reach school and that after they have done house chores before. Sometimes they are cold and hungry before they start the day. When they see the magic that a library gives, it makes it all worth while
Through generous donations CITC will be able to continue to provide the following:-
To built classrooms, meeting earthquake resistant standards
Sponsors female teachers, providing ongoing professional development
Provides menstrual health training and improves hygiene facilities, empowering women and girls to stay in education
Provides clean water and gender specific toilets
Benefits over 5,500 children every year
90% of all donations are spent at grassroots level
