Jacq’s Himalayan Adventure

Hello all,

Well it is still a little while away but I will be heading off to the Himalayas to spend some time teaching english in Buddhist Monasteries in Nepal, as well as ascend to the base camp of the mighty Mt Everest, in February of next year, 2011.

As the time comes closer, I will be organising some fund raising and book raising, so that when I head off, I am equipped with gifts and materials to improve the study life of the children and youth that I come into contact with.

Have a think about whether you can help me out in this.

More later,

Jacqueline

Hey all!

So thanks for visiting my VIN blog. As most of you know I will be joining a Buddhist Monastery in June for a few weeks and will be teaching them English in exchange for an amazing culturally rich and spiritual experience. I will be doing as much as I can to contribute and give back to a people that will honestly be teaching me more useful skills for life than I could ever impart on them. The organisation I am working with does so much more than the volunteer projects I am undertaking. They work with orphanages, setup construction of homes and basic toilet facilities, mobile clinics and run empowering women and youth programs to name just a few. I urge you to take a look around to get a better understanding of what this organisation does for so many people in Nepal. Given I would like to help this organisation as much as I can any small donation can help someone’ s life out there in Nepal.

Even if you just skip your next meal at Maccas and pop $5 on here instead it would be very appreciated. The money goes towards the programs I mentioned here and on VIN’s website. I urge you to contribute if you can. I have to admit I will probably gain more than I give during my time in Nepal and hope to come out on the other side with more clarity and perspective of life and a focused and kinder heart. Conveniently you pay via paypal so give it a go!

Much Love, Tahnee
