Story
My name is Eric Critchley, I am the team leader for the Merseyside County Scouts Nepal Trek 2018. On the 28th March we will be taking a party of 40 Scouts and Leaders to Nepal, returning on the 15th April, 2018. The dual purpose of the visit is first to have the wonderful experience of trekking in a beautiful and challenging environment, and second to spend several days helping to build a school in the remote village of Ashrang, with the Mucchok Education Charity, in conjunction with Child Education Nepal UK. Both these opportunities may prove to be once in a lifetime experiences, or they may affect the course of our member's future lives.
The overall cost of the trip is £2,000 per person. As the members of the party come from a variety of economic backgrounds, we have decided that we will achieve as much of each person's expenses as possible by fund-raising. Could you please consider making a donation to our funds, any addition would be gratefully received? Thank you.

7 years agoWow, I got such a jolt when I logged in to my Crowdfunding site...I was absolutely gobsmacked to find that I was another £20 nearer to Kathmandu. Alison, thank you very much, I really am choked by your generosity...it is very kind of you. Hope all is well with you and your family. Take care, Eric

7 years agoHello Supporters, well, I've got £40 in my account and 20 days left to reach my target amount of £2000. I am generally pretty busy on the organisational side of our Scouts Nepal Trek, something needs attending to every day, it seems. No complaints, I interviewed for the post of Leadership Team and was honoured when they offered me the Team Leader's job (at the same salary level as every other job in Scouting!!). My wife has mixed feelings; it keeps me busy but I talk too much about it, well you would, the prospect is AMAZING! Take care, Eric.
