Hi, my name is Kaylah Williamson, I am a year 9 student at Atwell College in Perth WA. I have been given an opportunity by an organisation called Antipodeans to go to Nepal as a part of group of students! 

This, family and friends is not your traditional getaway! I will be travelling with a group of like-minded students for 21 days through Nepal  and whilst we will have adult supervision to ensure we don’t make any life endangering decisions, the decision making will ultimately be left to us! We will be required to organise our own transport, food and accommodation, and we must do all of this as a collective. The trip itself will be broken into 3 parts. “The Project”, “The Trek” and “The Explore”. The project will involve our group completing a community task, we don’t yet know what our project will be but it could be refurbishing a house, building a toilet, building a well or perhaps helping to build or refurbish something for the local school (I’ll update once we’ve confirmed what our group’s project will be), this part of the trip will also give me an opportunity to live as one of the locals and truly immerse myself into the culture – I don’t imagine this will be easy but it is something that I am looking forward to! The trek is, well a trek.  We will get the opportunity to complete a trek through local villages and really experience the real Nepal. The Explore part of the journey is really about immersing ourselves into the culture and doing as the locals would do, visiting markets, trying different foods and learning about the lives of the Nepalese.

And so here I am asking for your help, in order for me to participate in this extraordinary life changing experience I must raise $6500 and family and friends anything that you can contribute to help me would be greatly appreciated x
