Approx 12,000 women and children are trafficked to the Middle East and India every year, mainly for exploitation in brothels or as forced labor. ASHA NEPAL is devoted to preventing the trafficking and abuse of girls and caring for survivors, with the aim of their safe reintegration into the community.With your help, we care for girls rescued from sex-trafficking, forced labour and abuse. We provide trauma counselling, health care, educational support, and emergency and long-term residential care. You can make a big difference.

On the 6th of Jan I will travel to Nepal to begin a two week trek to Everest Base Camp. I will join my guide and other members of a small group before flying to Lukla (the most dangerous airport in the world..hurrah!) This is a huge challenge for me as;

1. I really, really hate the cold. Loads.

2. I'm not a massive fan of exercise

3. Over Christmas I have eaten around 5kg of cheese.

But seriously, please check out Asha Nepal's website and give whatever you can. https://www.asha-nepal.org/home.

See you in February!
