The Dusty Yak Foundation

A happy girl’s birthday 🎂

As the sun sets on the eve of a new year, thoughts often turn to reflection and with it the serenity prayer comes to mind (aptly so when thinking about our charitable endeavours in Nepal). Over the last seven years accepting the things that cannot change has been the most challenging. Courage has come in the form of our volunteers on the ground in Kathmandu, those behind the scenes in the UK and Matt Hurley, who strives every single day to provide The Dusty Yak girls with the wisdom tools they need to actually make a difference to their lives.

As we welcome 2024 we thank all our Friends and Donors for their unwavering support over the year (and years) that has enabled lifelong change to the neglected, orphaned and relinquished children. Our journey could not continue without your help.

Sending love and wishes to you all for a peaceful, healthy and happy 2024.

Wishing Friends and Donors of The Dusty Yak Foundation a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2024. Your continued support allows our journey to help the relinquished and orphaned children of Nepal to continue and we are eternally grateful. Sending lots of festive cheer to you all 🎄 x

On Saturday 18 March, Eton College’s grounds will be transformed into a charity fair. Games, stalls and performances have been organised by Eton’s students and staff to raise money for the five charities supported by Eton Action this academic year. Many outside organisations, other charitable foundations and independent local businesses, will also arrange stalls and raise funds for their causes. The College has arranged games and attractions for children and adults alike, such as The Ocean Express Play Bus, Berkshire Birds of Prey experiences, an inflatable assault course and much more! Now in its 48th year, the fair draws thousands of visitors from Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead, as well as parents and friends of Eton students. The income from all these events is pooled and divided between charitable foundations and projects chosen by the committee and voted on by every student in the school.

Eton Action looks forward to welcoming our local community to this year's charity fair!
