My Story

Since 2010, the Future Village Foundation supports the education in rural Nepal for a sustainable future, both them and their community. 
As the co-Founder of The Future Village Foundation, I (Jessie Lai) have started all the initiatives to support Nepal since 2010.  The Foundation supports 3 local projects in Nepal. There are lots works needed after the Nepal earthquakes - funding is critical to support the projects.  A group of passionate cyclists (Tanuj Tanmay, Mike Hickman, BeeBee Koh, Ric Sim and Jin Jie Hu) will challenge themselves to ride up to Everest base camp (5200m) for fundraising. The biking trip includes 2 extreme tough rides in Tibet - continuous 32km uphill ride to Kampa-la pass (4780m) and 22km uphill ride to Everest base camp (5200m).  
The 11 days epic trip from May 22nd will end in volunteering at one of our supported schools in Nepal. The students at Snowland school are all from Himalaya mountain regions. The very tough and dangerous cycling route also reminds us how hard for these students to get the education opportunities by sacrificing not to see their families at Himalaya home for 10 yeas... The raised fund will support education project in Snowland school.
In Snowland school, recently we set up a new computer lab with Internet supported by solar power. 6 volunteers went in April 2016 to teach the E-learning & E-mentor program. Here is the sharing for the first blog "Our school, our home" posted by the students during the workshop. https://futurevillagefoundation.net/2016/04/29/our-school-our-home/
 Please support us for the good cause.
