Sorry I have been quiet

It has been quiet around here, hasn’t it. That’s ok, it has been worth it. Another project that I have worked on has now reached completion.

Several years ago, I was invited to go on a trek in Nepal. During that time, I learnt about the state of healthcare there. What I learned affected me deeply. In conjunction with others from Australia, we had a plan to aid one village in setting up their own health post. Why one village, I hear you ask? The answer is a case of pure economics. There are roughly 29 Million residents in Nepal. We just don’t have the funds.

I became a trustee for the health post after making a visit to the village in 2011 to discuss the logistics of the project. We needed to source donations to cover the day-to-day running costs, set up and administration fees.

Because of my earlier trip in 2009, I struck on the idea of writing a book of our journey. The book has now been released. ‘A Little Bit Up: Meandering in Nepal‘ takes the reader around the Annapurna Circuit as part of a small group with mixed trekking backgrounds.

I urge you to buy a copy since a percentage of the profits go towards funding the health post.  It is currently available on Lulu.com, and Amazon (all sites) and will follow soon for Nook and iBooks.
