FIELD ACTION IN NEPAL
Update on the latest Field Action mission which took place in Nepal. Its aim was to provide some 50 Sherpas with hiking boots – transported to them by trekkers. This is already significantly easing their daily work of carrying walkers’ bags (including those of the very trekkers who took out their boots!) and managing trek logistics, often in poor weather conditions. While no association members were able to be present to oversee the operation, I have absolute confidence in the trek organiser – more details on the website for those who want to find out more: http://www.edoziere.fr/
Very many thanks to Roland for all his efforts!

Field Action wish you a happy new year 2012.
As you know, the year 2011 saw the creation of our organization and realization of the first project on the slopes of the volcano Kawah Ijen in Indonesia.
Three other projects are currently under review and will be discussed at our annual general meeting during January 2012. We will keep you informed as soon as possible on the actions of 2012.
Welcome to Field Action web site.
Field-Action returns from his first visit to Indonesia on the slopes of the volcano Kawah Ijen. During these few days, we have made considerable material assistance to minors sulfur. 200 pairs of hiking boots, more than 3,000 protective masks left with us. In addition, we bought on the spot about 300 pairs of socks in order to employ the local economy.
In addition to help minors, we also provided support for a school near the volcano buying locally also, notebooks and pens.
See all the pictures of the expedition in the Missions tab.
This mission was crowned with success. But we must not forget that without your memberships and donations, we could not bring all this material . Also, as the President of Field-Action, I would particularly like to thank you very much.
Field-Action is already thinking about the future with a new mission. It is to bring hiking boots for teens near Quito in Ecuador. These children walk for over an hour to travel from their village to the local school. They have little or no shoes, but very willing and motivated in their studies. Field-Action also will visit the site to help them and also participate in educational sessions on topics of computer science, foreign languages, health…
Here is the place of our first action. Indonesia, precisely Kawah Ijen volcano.
