Today I am heading back to #Nepal, where I will spend the next three weeks traveling with a group of volunteers from @australianycc. The group are trekking to #Everest Base Camp to raise money for their organisation and a sister organisation in Nepal, the #Himalayan Climate Initiative.
I’ll be posting directly to the @australianycc account while we trek, travel and see the effects of #climate change on the Himalayan landscape and people. Follow the #AYCC account to see the group’s journey.
