Great news, we have made it!!!

Jenny and I are currently in Kathmandu having trekked up to Meselmi Village over the past week.

We were very fortunate to have good weather as it is not possible to get there during rainy periods. Very tough trekking over very steep and challenging terrain, but certainly worth every inch, foot and yard we hiked.

We opened the new school that our charity funded, gave each student a school jumper we had made and we managed to also give Solmate lights to our students.

I have attached a couple of photos ... and will send more upon my return to Oz. (No, I didn't bash my head. We were welcomed to the ceremony with sashes, flowers and red powder (lots!) on our foreheads ... local custom)

Together we are all making a difference to the lives of these impoverished children ... It is very worthwhile and so rewarding!

Special thanks to our supporters at Solmates, to our local NGO partner SAHAS – Nepal and of course The Rosie May Foundation.

Thanks and regards to all.

Don and Jenny Murray

A FEW WORDS ABOUT US

The Solmates peer to peer  concept  took bud in the hearts  of Jim Fraser and Yan Liu in July, 2015, funding projects In Somalia with grade 2 children.

 

The impact they made was mind blowing and inspired them to design the great new  initiative for children only.

​

The founders have worked in the international humanitarian field with NGOs such as Concern Worldwide, UNHCR, Red Cross, Save the Children and more.

 

They have dedicated themselves to providing affordable lighting solutions to refugees and the 1.3 billion people living off the grid around the world.
