Story
This summer 2017 I'll be teaching in a rural school in the Helambu valley, Nepal, which was heavily struck by the 2015 earthquake. NOT A PENNY OF THE MONEY RAISED WILL BE SPENT ON PERSONAL/TRAVEL EXPENSES OR CHARITY ADMIN COSTS. 100% of the money I raise will go directly to the local school I’ll be working with. I really believe that this is a very honest, direct way of making a big impact and I hope you can share in my vision and provide your support.
The Charity I’ll be working with is a local NGO called HELP (Helambu Education and Livelihood Project). http://www.help-nepal.org
They work with approximately 90 schools in outlying villages, helping 10 000 children. The schools are extremely basic, receiving little or no government funding, and on top of this, the earthquake destroyed many school buildings. HELP works to improve the standard of education in these schools through the running of various community led projects which, amongst other things, includes providing school supplies, developing infrastructure and the international volunteering programme which I'm taking part in.
International volunteers like myself, have been proven to have a significant impact. As volunteers we bring a new teaching style which the teachers can adopt and has been shown to boost pupil interest and attendance. I will also be working with the teachers to improve their English and , if applicable, IT skills.
