Helen’s story
As an Occupational Therapist with a background in education, I recently had the wonderful opportunity to spend 6 weeks volunteering with Gorkha Development Scheme and participate in some of their projects. This charity, run by volunteer trustees in the UK and a small committee in Nepal, may be tiny but it has a big impact in the community of Gorkha.
In addition to sharing some of my skills and experience, I was fortunate enough to see how students, who may not otherwise be able to access education, benefit from the charity’s sponsorship scheme; how teachers are encouraged to develop their skills; how women are empowered to understand their health issues and how children are taught to develop healthy life habits.
During my trip I was welcomed by the most lovely Nepali people and very much enjoyed learning about their life and culture.
I would like to help raise funds to continue the valuable work of this charity and to build on the ongoing contribution of volunteers like myself. All funds go directly to the community projects: no-one involved in the charity takes any payment - and in Nepal, a little money can go a long way!
Please consider donating to this very worthy cause and do Gift Aid it if you can. Thank you very much.
