First post and a thankyou
by Jan on Apr.02, 2009, under Info
So this is the first post of what will hopefully be many on this fundraising blog. We will be using this site to keep track of our fundraising events through pictures and videos. So we can raise enough to make a difference we’ll be shedding blood, sweat and tears. And that’s just the leg waxing… If you like (or dislike) what you see, leave us a comment, and forward this page on to anyone you know who will be interested in helping out.
Speaking of helping out, you can leave us a donation through Just Giving by visiting our donations page. Every little helps!
You can also keep up to date with our progress via our Facebook group or by following our Twitter (still learning how to use this one!)
I’d just like to to say a massive thankyou, from all of us, to Jeff from Infotech for donating the hosting and domain, and getting everything ready so quickly. Thanks to Andrew Jameson for helping with site design too!
Finally, to get us all in the mood, here’s the Nepali national anthem:

Great to see things happening again. I set up and ran the Sermathang Project from 1990 until its closure in 2001, providing the salaries of the teachers (nine of them at the end!), funding the new school buildings and helping provide many resources for the school. We also seny volunteers to teach at the school.
Every time I have visited Nepal since then, I have met up with the Yangrima ex Students and it is wonderful to see how they have developed into many exciting areas.
I wish your expedition success and am happy to talk to any of you about past experiences if I can help
