Expedition Everest<br />
Alice Reid (A08) & Lallie Fraser (A08)<br />
In Nepal, the under-five mortality rate is<br />
55%. That’s 550 babies per 1,000 live<br />
births - England’s mortality rate is under a<br />
fifth of this percentage. Two of the most<br />
common reasons why these little ones are<br />
dying way before their time are diarrhoea<br />
and malnutrition. This is incomprehensible<br />
when we live in a country where diarrhoea<br />
is at most highly embarrassing and one of<br />
the most pressing issues is obesity.<br />
Childreach International is a charity that<br />
works in partnership with the Dhulikel<br />
Hospital to improve rural child health.<br />
Their efforts have made a huge difference,<br />
but there are still so many children in need.<br />
This June, Alice Reid (A08) and Lallie Fraser<br />
(A08), have signed up for Expedition<br />
Everest, Childreach International’s flagship<br />
fundraising event. They will embark on a<br />
two-week hike through some of the<br />
Himalayas most impressive valleys to the<br />
base camp of the world’s largest mountain<br />
visiting some of Childreach International’s<br />
projects along the way.<br />
