Everest Trekking for Children in Need

Everest Trekking for Children in Need

Hi,

I am Michiel Jansen. Currently I am working as a volunteer for Volunteers Initiative Nepal ( VIN ) for 8 weeks. I am working in computer technology here. For one part I am helping VIN with constructing and maintaining their websites. For the other part I am teaching computer technology at a secondary school in Kathmandu.

 

During the last 2 weeks of this period (28th of September until 11th of October) VIN is organising an Everest Base Camp charity trekking to raise money for building an orphanage home. See: “Nepal Children’s Home”. Because I am involved in the development of this website, I have been getting aware why it is so important to give these children a better life. That’s why I decided to join this charity trekking with VIN. On one hand I can then enjoy the beauty and nature of the Nepalese Hymalaya and on the other hand I will do it for a good purpose.

 

To make “the other hand” work out, I will need your support. The idea is that for every meter I will climb the Mount Everest, VIN will receive an amount of money that will directly be added to the budget for building the Nepal Children Home. The end goal of the trekking will be the South Base Camp of Mount Everest. The altitude of this Base Camp is at an altitude of 5364 metres. The trekking will start from the Nepalese town Lukla, which lies at an altitude of 2800 metres. So, in total I will have to climb 2564 metres over a period of 2 weeks. This includes a couple of acclimatisation days to get used to the altitude.

 

VIN is organising 3 of these trekking groups and the target is to raise $15000 dollar in total. So, this means a target of totally $5000 for a single trekking. I will be doing this trekking with about 6 other volunteers, which makes a target of around $715 per person. To make it more challenging, I will increase my personal target to $1000 (which equals about €692).

 

Conclusion:

To reach this target I will have to receive $1000 / 2564m = $0.39 / meter (€0.27 / meter) in total. So, if for example 27 people are willing to donate 1 eurocent per meter I climb, I will already reach my target.

 

Or if you trust my fitness and believe I will make it or you don’t want to do all these calculations, you may also donate the full amount that you want to donate in advance. E.g. 27 people times €25,64 will also make the target.

 

To be clear. The money that you donate will directly be spent for building this orphanage home. The costs for the climb itself (food, sleeping, flight, etc.), I will pay for myself.

On behalf of VIN, my appreciation for your donation!

Hallo,

Ik ben Michiel Jansen en ik werk op dit moment voor 8 weken als vrijwilliger voor VIN. Ik ben hoofdzakelijk bezig op het gebied van IT. Voor een deel help ik VIN met het bouwen en onderhouden van hun websites. Voor het andere deel geef ik computerles op een lagere school in Kathmandu.

 

Tijdens de laatste 2 weken van deze periode (28 september t/m 11 oktober) zal VIN een Everest Base Camp donatie trekking organizeren om geld binnen te halen om een weeshuis te kunnen bouwen. Zie: “Nepal Children Home”. Omdat ik betrokken ben bij het maken van deze website en inzie hoe belangrijk het is om die straatkinderen een beter leven te geven, heb ik besloten om aan deze donatie trekking mee te doen. Van een kant kan ik op deze manier genieten van de mooie omgeving van de Nepalese Hymalaya en aan de andere kant doe ik het ook nog voor een goed doel.

 

Voor die andere kant heb ik jullie hulp nodig. Het idee is dat VIN voor elke meter die ik de Mount Everest beklim een bepaald bedrag ontvangt dat direct toegevoegd zal worden aan het budget voor de bouw van het Nepal Children Home. Het einddoel van de trekking zal het zuidelijke basiskamp van Mount Everest zijn. Dit basiskamp ligt op een hoogte van 5364 meter. De trekking zal starten in het Nepalese dorpje Lukla, wat op een hoogte ligt van 2800 meter. Dus, in totaal zal ik 2564 meter moeten klimen in een periode van 2 weken. Dit is inclusief een aantal acclimatiesatie dagen, om aan de hoogte te wennen.

 

VIN organiseert 3 van deze trekkings en het doel is om hiermee $15000 (c.a. €10504) te verdienen. Dit betekent een bedrag van in totaal $5000,= per trekking. Waarschijnlijk doe ik deze trekking met nog 6 andere vrijwilligers, dus komen we uit op $715 per persoon. Om mezelf nog wat meer uitdaging te geven leg ik mijn doel op $1000,= wat uitkomt op c.a. €692. Laten we er €700 van maken, nu we toch bezig zijn.

 

Conclusie:

Om dit doel te halen zal ik in totaal dus €700 / 2564m = €0,27 / meter binnen moeten halen. Dus als bijvoorbeeld 27 mensen 1 eurocent per meter willen doneren, per meter dat ik klim, kunnen we dat doel al halen.

 

Als jullie vertouwen hebben in mijn fitheid of gewoon direct een bedrag naar eigen inzicht willen doneren, dan kan dat natuurlijk ook.

 

Voor de duidelijkheid. Dit geld wordt rechtstreeks besteed aan de bouw van dit weeshuis. De kosten voor de beklimming zelf (voedsel, overnachting, vlucht, etc.) betaal ik zelf.

 

Om een donatie te doen, klik de donate knop onderaan deze pagina.

 

Namens VIN alvast hartelijk dank voor de donatie!

    The prostate gland is a vital part of a male’s the reproductive system. It secretes fluids that assisted in the transportation and activation of sperm. The prostate related can be found just before the rectum, below the bladder and around the urethra. When there is prostate problem, it is usually very uncomfortable and inconvenient for your patient as his urinary method is directly affected.

    The common prostate health conditions are prostate infection, enlarged prostate and cancer of prostate.

    Prostate infection, often known as prostatitis, is among the most common prostate-related condition in men younger than 55 years old. Infections of the prostate are classified into four types – acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic abacterial prostatitis and prosttodynia.

    Acute bacterial prostatitis will be the least common coming from all kinds of prostate infection. It is due to bacteria located in the large intestines or urinary tract. Patients may go through fever, chills, body aches, back pains and urination problems. This condition is treated by making use of antibiotics or non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to alleviate the swelling.

    Chronic bacterial prostatitis is often a condition of a particular defect in the gland and also the persistence presence of bacteria inside urinary tract. It can be caused by trauma towards the urinary tract or by infections via other areas in the body. A patient may go through testicular pain, back pains and urination problems. Although it is uncommon, it is usually treated by removal in the prostate defect as well as the utilization antibiotics and NSAIDs to treat the inflammation.

    Non-bacterial prostatitis is the reason for approximately 90% of prostatitis cases; however, researchers have not to ascertain the sources of these conditions. Some researchers believe chronic non-bacterial prostatitis occur because of unknown infectious agents while other think that intensive exercise and lifting may cause these infections.

    Maintaining a Healthy Prostate

    To prevent prostate diseases, an appropriate diet is important. These are some with the steps you can take to maintain your prostate healthy.

    1. Drink sufficient water. Proper hydration is essential for our health and wellbeing and will also also keep the urinary track clean.

    2. Some studies suggest that a number of ejaculations per week will prevent cancer of prostate.

    3. Eat beef in moderation. It has been shown that consuming over four meals of beef weekly will increase the probability of prostate diseases and cancer.

    4. Maintain a proper diet with cereals, vegetable and fruits to ensure sufficient intake of nutrients needed for prostate health.

    The most important measure to take to make sure a healthy prostate is always to choose regular prostate health screening. If you are forty yrs . old and above, you need to select prostate examination at least once annually.

Volunteering with VIN was an incredibly experience! I spent an amazing 2 weeks working in 4 schools teaching about disasters and preparedness while enhancing the childrens english. Everyone I met was so lovely and helpful enciting me into their culture. While in Okhaldhunga I got to see multiple festivals including Gai Jatra and Teej, which was unforgettable and really made my time in Nepal. I'm so glad VIN allowed me to see the beautiful sights and culture if Nepal and I wish to come back soon!
