I have signed up for the 2019 World Challenge programme to take part in a 2-week educational expedition to Swaziland, which will involve trekking and working on a community project. The community project will involve working alongside the local people and renovating a local school by helping build class rooms to replace the open air schooling they currently have. This opportunity is a challenging expedition that will significantly benefit the local community and will teach the team valuable life skills such as leadership, communication and team work.

Part of the challenge is raising £2,500 each to cover all expedition costs . In order to raise the money I have embarked on several fundraising activities including, sweet sales, car boots, ebaying and a garden party. All kindly supported by friends and family.

To raise the final £500 I wanted to challenge myself and my family (much to my sister's delight!) to a sponsored event that will prepare me for my 2019 expedition. So I have devised my own three peaks challenge, in the countries that we are visiting in 2018.

If we exceed the £500 target, all additional money will be donated to Kuleshwor Awas School in Nepal. The school has been partnered with my High School since 2011, and in 2015 it had to be demolished following the devastating earthquake. To date, Endon High and the local community has raised over £20,000 to fund the rebuild and repair project.

The three mountains are:

Snowdon, in Wales (1085m)

Scafell Pike, in England (978m)

Dentelles de Montmirail in France (730 m)

Any donations would be greatly appreciated and I will make sure I update this page with photographs!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey.
