Hi and thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
In November 2009, I am travelling to the Helambu region of Nepal as part of a Sage FutureBuilding Team with ChildReach International. During our 10 day project we will be renovating the derelict community-run school building (pictured left) and building a safe and fun playground for the kids of Yangrima. We will also be implementing a clean and safe sanitation system and creating job opportunities for the locals.
The school was built in 1985 and was run as a community managed school until 2000 when it was blown up by Maoist rebels. Reopening the school has only become possible recently thanks to the rapidly improving political environment and ex-students who have come back to provide tomorrow's generation with the same opportunity they had 10 years ago.
As a result of the school being derelict, poor children have been deprived of any schooling and have no hope or options to better their opportunities in life.
Successfully completing this project will bring hope to the people of Yangrima and future generations to come. Children will have a genuine chance, through education, to make a better life for themselves, their family and the community.
By donating, your support and generosity will go a long way to making the dreams of these people come true. So please sponsor me today!
Thanks, Jan
