Record breaking mountaineer will be guest of honour at celebratory event
A charity on the Isle of Man is preparing to open its 40th school in an area of the world where there are significant challenges in accessing quality education and health provision.
The Pahar Trust Nepal is marking 30 years since its inception with an event at King William’s College on Saturday (28 September).
The guest speaker will be record breaking mountaineer Hari Budha Magar who was the first, double above the knee, amputee to climb Mount Everest.
