Paris Marathon 2013 · 7 April 2013 ·

The Nepal Trust is working with Health, Education, Renewable Energy, Heritage Preservation and Eco-Tourism in the far NW of Nepal. Its main objective is to help create community projects that emphasize local participation and responsibility and give hope to the people of this very remote and impoverished area, where every day is a struggle for survival.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When I visited Nepal in September 2012 it struck me how lucky we are to live in a country like England. Whilst we complain of the problems we face in our day to day lives, nothing compares to the daily struggle many people face in Nepal.  

I witnessed a 'Nepalese' ambulance whilst trekking which consisted of a basket strapped to the head of a man in which an elderly lady was laying.  Our Guide explained that it would be around 20 hours constant trekking for the man to get the lady to the nearest road.  From here it would be a 3 hour car journey to the nearest hospital.

Whilst we complain when we can't get a doctors appointment, the price of prescriptions or the levels of service we receive, I think its worthwhile to consider what others have to go through.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
