Story

<p><strong>"Be kind whenever possible, it is always possible." </strong>Dalai Lama</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>On March 10th 2011, I will be going to the Himalayas for one month where I will be working as a volunteer for the Helambu Project.&nbsp; The charity provides education and health care services to rural communities in Nepal.&nbsp; These villages would otherwise be without these basic privileges, so often take for granted in the Western world.</p> <p>I will be volunteering in Gangkharka, a village 2200m above sea level in the foothills on the Himalayas.&nbsp; I will be undertaking many personal challenges during my stay including a 6 hour trek to get to the village, living without electricity and teaching children aged 6-13.</p> <p>I will post more photos on my return so you can see the impact of your generosity.</p> <p><strong>"Be kind whenever possible, it is always possible." </strong>Dalai Lama</p> <p>Many thanks for your kindness</p> <p>Rachel :oD</p> <p>_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
