Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am taking part in the trek to support the great work done by Our Street Our Children. The charity is doing great work helping the street children of Nepal. We will be taking three weeks to walk to base camp and back. Heading up into altitudes of over 5,000m. The trek starts when we fly into Luka from Kathmand. Trekking upward to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, following the valley of the Dudh Kosi river. It takes about two days to reach the village, which is a central hub of the area. Then trek another two days to Dingboche. Another two days takes them to Everest Base Camp via Gorakshep, the flat field below Kala Patthar.
Our Street Our Children is a Non Governmental Organisation formed in Nepal in 2012 to provide assistance to street children living on the streets of Narayangarh, Chitwan, Nepal. OSOC provides support for street children in the following key areas:
•Help for street children (Outreach)
•Supporting education for children in poverty
Our Street Our Children (Hamro Sadak Hamra Balbalika in Nepali) was started by Dave and Jackie Britten before they returned from Nepal after working for a year in the local community in Narayangarh, a city located in the heart of Nepal in the district of Chitwan.
OSOC is a Nepali organisation run by Nepalis. It is run by a management committee in Nepal, comprised of members of the local community who want to make a difference in their city. They are all volunteers, the only paid staff are outreach workers who work with the children on the streets of Narayangarh.
I'm trying to raise 500 pounds and I would really appreciate your support (every little helps!). If you can afford to do so, please sponsor me to help the street children in Nepal. Below are some details on OSOC.
