“Hi there,
I am thrilled to say that we have raised an incredible $44,339 for our earth bag build project in Nepal. This means that we can start the project in Feb in Nepal. We are confident that we can raise $60,000 for the project in total. It is wonderful to think that 18 months ago, this was just an idea and now it is really happening.
We would like to thank you so much for your support. Enclosed is our Earth Bag news which we hope you will find interesting. We look forward to updating you from Nepal in 2015!
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!”
Best regards,
Fionna Heiton

What we do
“First Steps Himalaya (FSH) works in partnership with disadvantaged communities in the rural Himalaya to promote early childhood development and quality education in schools. The organisation’s vision is that Himalayan children have access to improved education from early childhood, to school and beyond. This provides children with the opportunity to reach their full potential, and therefore makes a lasting impact on the entire community. We currently work in 18 communities providing quality Early childhood and school support projects.”
I plan to be there in the middle of February — approximately Feb. 18. I’ve heard lots of good things about Nepal and am really looking forward to the trip.
