Why I want to Go the Extra Mile June 5th and 6th. I am committing to walking 10km both days for a total of 20 Km total.
In October 2019 I had the great opportunity to visit some of the Himalayan Life projects in Nepal. With a background in Early Childhood Education children's education is so important to me. While at the Yangri Academic Center (YAC) I had got to witness first hand the attention to the children and their families Himalayan Life has committed to. The School has developed core Values and they are:
- Care
- Integrity
- Quality
- Change
- Hope
I truly feel that every child in the world should feel they are cared for, that they can have integrity in their life, that their education should be quality, that change can happen in these children's lives and that this all can take place through hope and prayer. To me nothing is more important than these values that the YAC brings to these children.
While having some tea with some of the team members of the YAC one morning I also witnessed a girl walking along the other side of the river. The school director told me this was one of their students coming to school. An hour later after I had been back to my room and packed and we were getting on with our day I saw this little girl make it to the school. If she has to go the extra mile each day for her education I am committed to walking for her and all of the children that Himalayan Life works to protect, nurture and educate
Go The Extra Mile for Education in the Himalayas
 |
In the Himalayas, in order to receive education, one needs to go the extra mile. Children walk many miles every day to make it to the closest school, parents sacrifice income to pay for school fees, and Himalayan Life provides education opportunities for children and families who might otherwise not have the chance.
Why go to all this effort? Education is essential in creating thriving children, families and communities. When a child is educated, the cyclical nature of poverty cannot continue, it gives hope and a future.
