Local charity, The Kathmandu Kids Club (KatKids), is holding a celebration to honour of a group of people who have bravely gone where few Bermudians have gone before remote Humla, Nepal.The celebratory event, which will also mark the charity’s fifth anniversary, will be held on March 11 at 6pm at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute (BUEI).The group being honoured comprised fifteen people, mostly Bermudians and Bermuda residents, who participated in the ISIS Trek For Kids 2010 in Humla, a remote and undeveloped region of Nepal.Trekkers ranged in age from 21 to 63-years-old and were from various backgrounds including education, reinsurance, and boat building.At the event, the Bermuda-based charity will also thank the community for their support in raising funds for the care of children in serious need in Nepal.KatKids, a volunteer fundraising group, was formed in 2006 to help raise funds for the projects of The ISIS Foundation, a charity that cares for thousands of children in serious need in both Nepal and Uganda.KatKids raises funds by selling memberships for $360 per year and by holding fundraisers throughout the year.Through the consistent generosity of Bermuda residents and the ongoing dedication of volunteers, KatKids has been able to aid ISIS in providing education, healthcare, and improved living conditions to thousands of Nepali families.Together, the team successfully raised over $232,000, far exceeding their $200,000 fundraising goal.One hundred percent of these funds (less online and banking fees) went directly to projects run by The ISIS Foundation in Nepal.At the event, the trekker presentations will be followed by a celebratory reception where attendees can learn more about the projects KatKids has supported through ISIS over the past five years.There will also be an opportunity to shop at the KatKids Market offering handcrafted items from Nepal and Uganda similar to the popular annual KatKids’ Christmas Market.Attendees interested in becoming a KatKids member or those looking to renew memberships will also be able to do so.Tickets for the event are $40 for members, $45 for non-members and include a complimentary glass of wine and Harbourfront canapés.Tickets can be purchased from Nicola at nicolaj[AT]kathmandukidsclub.com or from the ISIS offices at 35 Crow Lane, East Broadway.Doors open at 6 pm with the presentations starting promptly at 6.30pm. As KatKids’ events are typically popular, order tickets early to avoid disappointment.For more information, visit their websites on www.kathmandukidsclub.com and www.isis.bm .
