As a matter of fact, there are different reasons :
-
ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is much more common than most people think.
-
It is a serious and lifelong disabling condition.
-
It can have a profound or even devastating effect on individuals and their families.
-
ASD cannot be cured, however the right support at the right time will make an enormous difference.
-
There is little knowlegde about ASD in Nepal.
Inspired by the dedication and enthusiasm a group of Nepalese parents showed when founding AutismCare Nepal Society in 2008, I decided to support this project by walking the Great Himalaya Trail and "selling" it as a CHARITY WALK.
The donations received made it possible to send two staff members to India for further education.
The income from a second edition of the book about the Great Himalaya Trail printed in Nepal went to the school and parts of the net-income created by holding talks about this adventure is donated to support their never ending dedication.
