Dear Friends & Family,
Please see attached information on a fundraising event that I am doing to raise money to build 2 classrooms in Kophu, a remote village in Nepal (this village is in the lower parts of the Everest Region where I trekked in April).
As most of you know, Nepal and its people (especially the children) have had a huge impact on me and my life. I have so much respect and admiration for the Nepalese people, in that they have very little and every day is a struggle just to survive, but amidst their hardships they are always friendly, generous, happy and grateful for what they do have.
In June I became a member of NAFA, "a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the physical, social, emotional and economic well-being of people in Nepal, with an emphasis on women & children who live in remote villages or who are disadvantaged and living in large towns". NAFA also organises sponsorships for many Nepalese children and adolescents. www.nafa.org.au
The group of people, who are NAFA, are very passionate about Nepal. They give ALL their time voluntarily and EVERY dollar that is raised goes to helping Nepal. It means a great deal to me to be able to support and contribute to this organisation and help them to help the people of Nepal.
I would like to give something back to this very special country and hope that you will kindly support me in this fundraising event.
Thanks,
Kyliex
PS If you know of others who would be interested in supporting this event please forward this email
PSS If anyone would like to support me on the day (27th September) it would be great to see you at Mt Cooroora ... bring a picnic lunch and make a day of it or even walk up the MT with me once or twice!

‘Climb for Children of Nepal’
Please help raise funds to take children ...
from a classroom under canvas ... to a classroom of stone & timber ...
My name is Kylie Gilbert and in my quest to make a difference in people’s lives less fortunate than myself, I have challenged myself to climb Mt Cooroora at Pomona as many times as I can in one day on Sunday the 27th September 2009.
In doing this I am attempting to raise $8,000 to build TWO classrooms in the remote village of Kophu in the lower Solu Khumbu region of Nepal (this village has no electricity or other facilities & is 3-4 days walk from the closest road). The money I raise will be donated to NAFA (Nepal Australia Friendship Association) who will oversee and monitor this project. Please take the time to read the attached information on NAFA and all the wonderful work they do for Nepal and its people, or visit www.nafa.org.au
To raise this money, I am requesting people to sponsor me. Sponsor forms can be found as an attachment if you have received this flyer by email, otherwise they can be downloaded from the NAFA website or contact me direct (see details below) and I will forward them on.
The reason I am attempting to raise this money? I have recently visited Nepal for a trekking holiday (Everest Base Camp) and was deeply moved by the Nepalese people, especially the children, and the fact that they have very little and yet are so happy and so grateful for the little that they do have. My experiences in Nepal have made me think more about what is REALLY important in life.
This gift of a proper classroom will make a huge difference in the lives of the children of Kophu Village and I sincerely hope that you will help make this difference by kindly sponsoring me.

Mt Cooroora is a 439m high volcanic plug. It is a steep and difficult climb with a combination of steps and steep rocky slopes with chains. It is located in Pomona off the Bruce Highway just west of Noosa. The annual King of the Mountain race is held in July where competitors run to the top of the Mountain and back.
