Although Nepal has been gifted
with the largest mountains in the world, these same
natural beauties create a difficult and rugged environment
to inhabit. WFP provides assistance to those in need
through a variety of programmes. One such programme
is the School Feeding Programme that currently feeds
over 290,000 Nepalese children. It costs just 19 cents
per day to provide a meal for one student. Although
the fundraising effort associated with Squiz’s
climb has no limit, he has set the goal of $60,000
USD, of which $30,000 will be donated to support this
programme. The additional $30,000 will be expended
during the expedition (i.e. Climbing permit, guiding
company fee, equipment purchases, food and accommodation
etc).
