Holly’s Trip to Nepal

One of our team members, Holly, first came to Hendon for work
experience as part of her Diageo Learning For Life programme with
Springboard in 2016, and joined the team soon after. As a Springboard
beneficiary, she was recently chosen by Springboard to take part in the
Nepal Trek and Community Challenge 2017.

Thirty trekkers had the opportunity to both support
the Manju Shree School and Lura Village community in
Nepal, alongside Springboard’s work in the UK. The
trek and community challenge was no easy feat, with
five days of tough trekking following three days of

hard labour at the school. Work on the school ensured
it was restored after the 2015 earthquake, while the
trekkers also produced a feast for the local
community, along with a sports day.

This was a once in a lifetime experience for Holly. So far, the trekkers have fund raised

£108,000. The fund raising target is £135,000 and funds are still coming in. The trek took
place 9th – 21st March 2017. WELL DONE HOLLY!!!
