Dean Maher is raising money for Sunsar Maya
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Climbing Island Peak, Nepal · 24 September 2016

Sunsar Maya builds pathways out of poverty by improving the livelihoods of vulnerable children and women through holistic, community-based services, including an after-school program that focuses on academic, physical, and emotional support, and a women's literacy and income generation program.

Story

At the end of September I'm off to Nepal for a spot of mountaineering/trekking and thought it would be a great opportunity to raise money for a worthy cause in the process. 

Sunsar Maya is a great charity that provides educational opportunities to better the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children in Nepal. Not only do they support the children academically but they also offer the emotional and physical support they need to grow out of their circumstances and be successful in life. Any donation, big or small would be awesome! For more info visit www.sunsarmaya.org

On my trip I'll be attempting to summit Island peak at an elevation of 6,189m. To do this I'll be meeting up with a expedition team in Chukhung then leaving the Everest base camp trail heading east for 5 days to Island peak. After that I'll rejoin the Everest base camp trail and head to Everest base camp (5,364m elevation). Then if all goes well I'll continue round to do the 3 passes trek. Hopefully I can get all that done in 4 weeks as long as the weather doesn't cause too many problems. I've been training for this for about 6 months now and can't wait to get out there!
