The Rotary Club of Calgary West
is pleased to announce sponsorship of another awesome fundraising adventure to
Nepal for April 2017.

 
This adventure will follow the basic elements of the highly successful 2012 treks which saw 35 trekkers hike among the highest mountains on earth and raise $145,000 to build a high school in the Solu Khumbu.
 
If you are interested in
  • great fellowship and camaraderie,
  • getting shape to endure physical and mental challenges,
  • and travelling through exotic lands
while helping those people less fortunate than yourself, then consider joining one of the following treks:
  • 18 day Trek to Namche Bazaar and Tengboche for a view of Everest from April 17- May 3, 2017*
  • 25 day  Trek to Everest Base Camp from April 10- May 3, 2017*
  • 25 day  Trek to Everest Base Camp (17,300’) and Mt Lobuche Climb (20,000’)
You’ll have to pay your own way plus raise $2500 in tax receiptable donations to help the following registered charities deal with the devastation caused by the 2015 earthquakes:
  • Shelter Box- provides emergency shelter and supplies when disaster strikes
  • Child Haven Int. -assists children and women needing food, shelter and education
