Since we've been together, we have been lucky enough to visit some amazing, remote countries but have always been struck by the poverty and hardship that children in these communities face.
Last year, at a festival, we came across the local charity 'School in a Bag'. School in a Bag provide bright red rucksacks full of essential resources that enable poor, orphan, vulnerable and disaster affected children worldwide to write, draw, colour, calculate, express themselves, eat, drink, wash and above all, learn.
A typical SchoolBag contains: 12 pencils, 10 pens, 12 colouring pencils, maths set, ruler, pencil case, 6 exercise books, water bottle, lunchbox and a hygiene pack.
Across the world, 1 in 5 children are not able to attend school, often due to lack of money and equipment.
Some people might think that 14 days trekking at high altitude in the Himalayas to reach Everest Base Camp is possibly madness! We're going to give it our best and hopefully help a few children along the way. A bag costs just £20 but makes such a huge difference to a child, so please give anything you can!
