Hollie Hewitt’s Nepal Adventure

Hi, my name is Hollie Hewitt, and I am a young leader and volunteer for Essex Boys and Girls Clubs (EBGC) as-well a leading officer cadet with LFB. I am excited to take on the incredible challenge of hiking through Nepal, covering areas such as Kathmandu, Barpak, and even experiencing white water rafting down the River Trisuli. I am going to Nepal to work in a remote village, called Barpak that was sadly destroyed by an earthquake. During this adventure, I will be completing 12 days hiking and camping, 4 days of community-based work, 2 days white water rafting and 2 days visiting cultural sites in the city of Kathmandu. In the village, I will be supporting learning in the school, helping the mothers’ group and working on other ongoing rebuilding projects in Barpak. This journey is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will not only allow me to grow personally and develop my leadership skills but also give me the chance to bring back valuable insights to share with EBGC and my community. While in Nepal, I will immerse myself in new cultures and spend time with local communities as I hike through remote villages. For me to be able to take part in this experience i am needing to raise £3,200. While preparing for nepal i will be taking part in activities such as 100 miles in a canoe , water sports and long distance walks and hikes this gives me more opportunities to collect sponsorship for nepal 2025. Your support will help me make this dream a reality and enable me to further contribute to the work we do at EBGC and for our community . Thank you for any donations or support you can offer!
