\"Kalpana<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kalpana, aged 7, in Nepal on her way to school.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We support Kalpana and make regular contributions towards her school costs, from our children’s books website Dolphin Booksellers<\/a>. We put aside monies to send to Kalpana for her education.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her family live several villages away and Bhim and Kalpana walk for a day to stay with her aunt during school time. Bhim, her uncle, is a Himalayan guide, and communicates with us regularly when he is back from trips around Everest.<\/p>\n

Our connection was started over two years ago when I went to Nepal, on a walk to Everest Base Camp<\/a>. Two days from the Base Camp I developed altitude sickness and had to make a very long and hasty retreat down the mountain. There’s more info on my Faith in Nepal<\/a> page. Helping me to get down was Bhim, an experienced guide. We talked a great deal on the 5 days down and I learnt all about Kalpana.<\/p>\n
