Manaslu Trek 2016
Manaslu Trek 2016
Story
Hi friends,
I'm trekking the Manaslu Circuit in Nepal in 2016 to raise funds to build a school in Nepal.
The school is in the village of Purano Jhangajoli in the east of Nepal. It was completely destroyed in the 2015 earthquakes, temporary bamboo shelters have been built but this is only a temporary solution and the school needs to be rebuild.
The new school is set to be amazing. The master plan is under development, in collaboration with the University of Melbourne School of Design. The school to be an education "hub" with a focus on applied agricultural and technology education. The education centre will not only deliver physical infrastructure, but also drive programs that will help solve the social and economic challenges of the community.
FONA is a development organisation dedicated to bringing best practice solutions to solve the key challenges in Nepal in the areas of education, housing, heritage conservation and economic empowerment. It is a voluntary organisation with 100% of its funds go directly to the projects. Plus, people from the village will be participating in building their school so you will providing employment and incomes for the community. Any contribution, big or small, will make a significant difference.
Check out FONA's website here: www.fona.org.au.
Thanks so much for your support!
