One Year On – Everest Diaries – our first school is built and the book is out!

 

A year ago we returned from our adventure to the top of the world. What an adventure and year it has been! After one engagement, two jobs, and the best part of 15 kg later (argh), I’m pleased to report the first school has been built!

We are so grateful to everyone who helped raise nearly £50k to build schools in Makwanpur through Child Rescue Nepal and we’re  delighted that the first of our 3 schools has been completed (see photos below and more updates to follow).

Whilst this schools project is close to completion the work of Child Rescue Nepal continues. To continue to support such a great cause  professional photographer Steve Brown and I have collaborated to produce the perfect “coffee table book” in the Everest Diaries.

Combining my Irish Times articles, Steve’s amazing photos, and contributions from everyone from Dorjee Gyalgen Sherpa who joined me on the summit to forwards from legends Alan Arnette and Malachy Logan and awesome photos from climbing companions Blake, Ronny, Jonathan and Scott, we hope to share with you some images and memories which will last a lifetime.

It’s available on Amazon and can be ordered from most bookstores. An ebook is available at the Apple Store but not on Kindle (too many cool photos it seems!). All proceeds to Child Rescue Nepal so please pick one up on spiderwize (no amazon sales tax, so more money to charity!). Leaving a review on amazon would also be greatly appreciated.

Check out these photos from the new school in Bakaiya!

It’s awesome to see the new building for Gyanodaya P. School, Bakaiya-8, Makwanpur. I hope to be able to share more photos from the next two schools to be finished (both are well underway) and can’t wait to have the opportunity to visit all of these projects. If you’d like to get involved with a direct donation or indeed have aspirations to fund a school project, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks again to all who have supported, I hope you are pleased to see the direct impact. We’ll update further when the other schools near completion.

Check out these photos below from just a month earlier when Steve went out to visit the project. Big shout out to Jo Bega from CRN and Jamuna and her team on the ground in Kathmandu!
