Running donations help bring support to those in Nepal
The Xtreme Everest team has received some happy and positive news over the weekend from our colleagues and friends at Summit Nepal Trekking, following on from the recent devastating earthquakes last month.
Funds raised by Xtreme Everest from the 2014 Bournemouth Marathon have been used to support Summit Nepal Trekking staff to help rebuild their own villages and improve the lives of those affected.
The team met with their staff to discuss what was required and what plans they had to help their families and fellow neighbours. A key priority for all was providing much needed shelter and supplies to those affected, who are still struggling. This included upgrading the tarps currently being used for living spaces, so the villagers have a safer place to be during the upcoming monsoon season.
Summit Nepal Trekking inform us that several villages are still cut off due to road blockages but these should be cleared soon.
Our donation, along with other money raised, has been sent to the following areas with staff members:
- Solu
- Jiri
- Dolakha
- Thame
We wish the Summit Nepal Trekking team our best wishes with this project and hope to hear more updates from them soon.
Members of the Xtreme Everest family will be running at the Bournemouth Marathon Festival this year again to raise more funds. Details will be available soon.
