Thank You to everyone who is able to support me on this fundraising challenge!

As some of you already know, I will be travelling to Nepal in November 2022 with Adventure Aid Nepal to help with several Juniper Trust projects in the remote Kinja Valley below Everest. 

I will be volunteering at 3 schools, painting classrooms, building play areas, and giving them new uniforms and equipment for their classes. I will also help with planting 3000 fruit trees and renovation work on schools destroyed on the 2015 earthquake.

I plan to raise funds for this charity in 2 ways;

• Attempting to complete the National 3 Peaks Challenge this summer, I will post more info once I have this organised! Date TBC!

• An agreement for our family run Toy Shop to donate 15p from every item of Cockermouth School Uniform sold leading up to the trip!

Monies raised go to ‘Adventure Aid Nepal’ AAN - https://adventureaidnepal.org/  

At Adventure Aid Nepal, they offer sustainable low-impact volunteering to support the poorest communities, particularly schools and children that have received very little outside help since the earthquake of 2015. 

Any donations to AAN will be channelled to the Juniper Trust, a charity which is completely run by volunteers where 100% of donations go towards the projects that we will be supporting on this 2022 trip. We will be helping renovate Maili School, where the 90 students have been using a temporary school for their education since the earthquake in April 2015.

We hope to raise £7,500 to purchase new uniforms and school equipment for 200 children and to plant 3000 fruit trees close to the village. During this project we will be hands on, helping where needed and sharing experiences with the villagers and children

100% of Donations will go to the projects we are helping with

The Juniper Trust was founded in 1994 by a group of volunteers, inspired by writer and teacher Angela Locke following her first visit to Nepal. Since those early beginnings, JT has grown and supported many worthwhile projects across the world, but its basic vision remains the same as it was at the start: to work in a low-impact, sustainable way to support the poorest communities, particularly children, listening to community needs in the developing world.
