<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">In the summer of 2012, I am planning to go to Ladakh in Northern India on a trip organized by the Lotus Flower Trust and my school.&nbsp;In the past the Trust has been involved in many charitable building projects in India and Winchester College has worked with them closely&nbsp;for the last four years, with students from&nbsp;Winchester being involved in the building of schools and an orphanage.&nbsp;The purpose of the 2012 trip is to assist in the building an extension to a nunnery, already begun by The Lotus Flower Trust in 2007. We hope to begin the building of &nbsp;a kitchen, a&nbsp;store room, 3 bedrooms and the installation of a water pump. The nunnery stands at around 5500m, set into the rocky mountainside; as well as the possibility of suffering altitudesickness, there is, in addition, no road link to the nunnery and we will be carrying all building materials as a 'human chain' from the road; it will &nbsp;therefore be a very challenging&nbsp;task.Their main purpose is to take in orphans who have nowhere else to go. Before I set off I hope to raise &pound;1000, to do this the team (25 of us) and I are swimming, running and rowing the distance to Ladakh from Winchester (10,540 Km). Any money raised will go straight to building project. I would appreciate any support you are able to give me.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">The technical bit of just giving is simple, fast and totally secure.
