This year I will be celebrating 22 years being a Tour
Operator. During that time there have
been many “UPS AND DOWNS”. The down side
is that I have not been able to personally keep in touch with everyone who I
have had the pleasure to meet on tour.
The up side is to meet a return client, knowing that he or she, had
obviously enjoyed their first tour with Lyn Taylor’s Adventure Travel, and
ready for another adventure.
Although traveling, and experiencing the thrills of other
countries has always been my passion, it did not take me long to realise that
by putting some of my energy to the help the people of a country, benefit from greater rewards. Hence my involvement in helping “The Children of Remote Area Schools in
Nepal. “
The past 6 years has been a long slow haul, but with the continued support of East
Linfield Public School and Oxford Falls Grammar School, together we have achieved outstanding results by demolishing the old run
down classrooms, , and replacing them with new. We have also managed to build a much required amenities block, connect water, replace the roof of the school, and supplied
the school with uniforms and equipment.
Two years ago Lindfield East Public School oranised another fundraiser to help another school in the area, which was
in desperate need of 4 extra classrooms to accommodate an extra influx of students.
Building began in the middle of last year, and two classrooms have nearly
been completed. Unfortunately, construction of the remaining 2 classrooms have
been delayed due to a landslide behind the building, a massive boulder missed
the school by inches, fortunately nothing was
damaged, except the money that
was raised by LEPS to finish the building went into the construction of a
retaining wall. Like I said “It is a
long hard road, but worth the journey.
Children are the essence of
purity, honesty, innocents, unconditional love. They are perfection & what
we all should strive to become again! As
we grow we are exposed to the big bad world where we become corrupted by negativity, greed etc.....The children of Nepal are
spiritual and live life with their eyes wide open and hearts free. It has been a joy to combine my visits to
Nepal, to not only give clients the opportunity to experience life
away from the tourist trails, by visiting out of the way rural areas, but for the children of those remote areas to
gain educational opportunities that will benefit their future.
