My story

 

Thanks very much for logging in to sponsor me!

As you know, I  summitted  Everest  in the early hours of 22 May 2009.  By doing so, I hope to raise enough money for AVF (AV Foundation) to build 2 new classrooms for a primary school in Pachok, which lies in the foothills of the Himalayas.   AVF is a great charity.  It is affiliated to Africa & Asia Venture, the gap year volunteering company and supports schools in some of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa & Latin America.

AVF have agreed that 50% of the proceeds from this fundraising will go towards the costs of the climb up to a limit of £12,000.  Thereafter all funds will go to AVF towards the classrooms at St Josephs Middle School in Pachok.  These new classrooms will enable the school to upgrade to a secondary school and so enable many more children to be educated locally, rather than have to go away to a boarding school, which parents cannot afford.

To learn more about AVF, see www.avfoundation.org

Thank you again!
