Hi there. We have been on the drop zone for days waiting for the weather to clear so we can begin jumping. Yesterday the first jumpers jumped from 29,500 ft and landed safely. What an amazing sight to see them come down from the sky, so excited at what they had just experienced.The first few days up here were perfect but the plane was held up by the authorities and once it arrived, the cloud came in...

This morning it has cleared and quite a few people have jumped so far. I think we have about 30 clients jumping so it will take several days to get everyone through and I am somewhere near the end.... my confidence is growing and after waiting so long, I am now really excited.A highlight was someone giving another £5,000 to give to children in Asia... really exciting. Looking at the amount we have raised so far in the last 3 weeks, I might have to do another adventure....

Hope to send another blog in the next few days! LoveMolly

Hi there Angels.

Please read on to know more about the needs of children here in Nepal and the wonderful projects we have been visiting and filming.

Street Kids Bank and Cafe in Pokhara, Nepal. While here, I have met with Douglas Maclagan, who is the innovative and dynamic Founder of Child Welfare Scheme, a charity working to empowering some of Nepal's poorest and most disadvantaged children, young people and communities.

The JYOTI Street Project complete with its own "Street Kids Bank" is an example of the forward thinking and model projects he and his team have been developing and partnering with. Street children do find ways to earn or get money, but where can they find a safe place to keep it from older gang members and what do they do for food if they are ill? They have there own "bank" at JYOTI, where 650 of them deposit small amounts like 10p or 30p at a time. Each of the kids are members of the bank. They have members meetings and help decide how the bank is run and can take their cash out when they like. Each child pays a very small amount for a meal, a shower or a bed at the centre and is learning how to manage their money and the reality that nothing comes for free.

15-20,000 Young Girls Trafficked Into the Sex Trade Each Year. Alongside the bank is a street kids cafe run by the kids, a street kids newspaper, a working kids centre where they get support and have a little fun every day, and a safe house for girls rescued from abuse or trafficking situations. There are a very high percentage of child laborers, aged 7-15, in Nepal. It is also believed that 15-20,000 girls are trafficked into the sex trade each year. We talked to Nepalese young women trafficked into the brothels of Mumbai, India, when our team was there in December. How can we help turn this around?

One Child In Every 15 Children Dies Before The Age Of Five In Nepal. The infant mortality rate is decreasing slowly in Nepal, but amongst the hill people living in remote villages in the mountains and in the slums is one child in every 15 children dies before the age of five. The city hospitals are overflowing and these families have little chance of access. Mobile clinics are life saving for the young children and babies and I hope we can fund several more clinics and centers over the next few years through raising sponsorship of our SkyDive.

Yesterday, I visited a home for 20 children testing +ive HIV whose parents had died and were without relatives. Two widows ( also testing +ive) are the home mothers to all the children including their own. What an amazing project and so perfect to reproduce in any culture or country. Let me know if you would like to help support these children.

Further Education For Street Kids and Orphans  The last wonderful project I visited this week, runs a 3 year training course for 120 children coming through the street kids and orphan projects from the surrounding area giving them recognised qualifications as plumbers, electricians, computer and office workers, and care workers. I'm really excited about pulling together Angels who want to help fund these kids for their courses, their equipment to set up business and micro-loans to give them a chance to develop as entrepreneurs. To top it off, I am the first guest in a delightful guest house in a valley in the mountains near Pokhara city. Some of the young people recently qualified from the training program have helped refurbish the guest house and some are the new staff. My fee for staying here for 2 nights will go into a fund towards supporting the young Nepalese staff working in the projects, many having come through the Jyoti Project and training course...

Earn Your Wings Alongside Me :) High and Wild, the company organising the SkyDive generously donated Matt and my places on SkyDive in the hope Global Angels would be able to raise $1 million over the next three years through the SkyDives. Nigel Gifford, OBE, is the the Director of High and Wild and also a member of dynamic International Advisory Board.

Through sponsoring me on my SkyDive page, you are literally sponsoring the children in Nepal and Asia. If you you have given, thank you so much. If you haven't yet, here is your chance to "earn your wings" alongside me as we give 100% of funds raised to the children's projects.

Love, Molly x
