Story
My name is Ben Hawley. I am striving to raise money so I can travel to Nepal and help the children there have a better life.
In April 2015, Nepal suffered a disastrous earthquake, which killed 9,000 people and injured 22,000.Many schools were damaged and people are still rebuilding them and I would like to help them rebuild their schools to improve their education for a better chance in life.
The World Challenge organisation was set up by a young army captain in 1987 with the aim of allowing young people to travel to certain parts of the world to help others in need. They will help me achieve my aim of helping people in Nepal by organising my accommodation and flights as well as the places and projects that I can work on to help people in Nepal.
I hope you follow my progress on this page.

15 days agoMount Everest is 8828 metres high. The steepest hill near to my house is Thealby Hill which is 33.5 metres high. They are a world apart. Before I leave for Nepal I intend to walk up Thealby Hill 265 times which is the equivalent of climbing Everest - without the peaks, the snow and the Yeti!

21 days agoOn 9th March 2019, 120 lovely people are joining me and my family for a Nepalese dinner and quiz at the Winterton Community Pavilion. The inspirational Neplaese chef Dev Gurung from the Hungry Buddha restaurant in Sheffield is travelling over to cook for us all. My friends and I will be serving the food so any guests reading this might want to wear their very best teflon clothing on the night!
