Skydive from the Clouds · 17 October 2010

Nepal is a land of mountains: both awe inspiring peaks and the barriers that stand in the way of children’s schooling and women’s aspirations. Classrooms in the Clouds supports education in the Solukhumbu by building safe classrooms, training female teachers, and tackling gender inequality.

Story

Classrooms in the Clouds is a fantastic small charity that is making a huge difference to the lives of so many children.

For relatively small amounts of money, they are giving the opportunity for whole communities to receive better standards of education, something that we take for granted here in the UK. A teachers annual salary is only £2,106, which works out at just over £40 per week. Reaching our target would cover 4 months salary, allowing CITC to recruit one more teacher to help bring down class sizes. At one school they are working at there are currently 123 children in one class!

Doing a skydive is going to be a scary experience, way beyond anything either of us have done before, so please help us make it worthwhile and raise as much as we can!
