Qaisra has a mountain to climb!

Qaisra Khan, Oxleas Spiritual and Cultural Care Co-ordinator and Develop's FaithNet, will be trekking through Nepal to the Everest Base Camp in November 2009 to raise money for Oxfam.

The route takes her via the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar through beautiful valleys, dense forests and across glacial rivers before reaching the renowned viewpoint of Kalapatar, and on to the Everest Base Camp.

On her chosen charity, Qaisra says
"Oxfam is a charity with a very good reputation that does some amazing things that make a positive difference in peoples' lives. I first started supporting them work when I heard of the work they were doing in Afghanistan which is not a very safe.

Raising money for them would be one way of saying thank you to all those who continue to work in places and circumstances that I can not imagine doing."
