Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page for the Methodist World Development Everest Base Camp trek in 2016. 

A team from Ireland will be going to Nepal in September 2016 and will be trekking for 14 days to the base of Everest, reaching an altitude of 5,545 metres.

Trekkers meet all their own participation costs in full including, all flights
and transportation, food and accommodation, trekking and support costs and insurance. 

In addition we are raising money from this trek towards two projects: firstly the Kopila project in Nepal which supports work amongst the Dalit people, particularly women who have been economically, socially and educationally excluded as a result of the Hindu caste system. Work involves literacy classes, micro-credit schemes and training in advocacy skills so that they may obtain their full rights from local agencies - see

The second project is based in Ireland and is called The Surf Project.
It aims to enhance the social, moral, physical and spiritual well-being of
young people using the sport and culture of surfing - see
