Donation in memory of Alan Gallop
An impressive £1,012 was recently raised by friends and family of Alan Gallop on the very sad occasion of his funeral. Alan had previously trekked in the Annapurnas in Nepal so it seemed fitting that the money should be donated, in his memory, to help rebuild a country he so enjoyed visiting. This is one of Alan's photos from his trek to Annapurna Sanctuary.
During a visit to our office this week, Alan’s family presented the funds to Clive Hughes – a representative of SHIVA Charity. Shiva have been working tirelessly to help rebuild villages in north Kathmandu that were devastated by last year’s earthquake.
Visit the SHIVA Charity website to find out more about their work in Nepal or to make a donation. Read our Responsible Travel news article for an update on our response to the challenges of 2015.
