Lead by Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak Rotarians Michelle Duncan and Wayne Stephens, the graduates will head to Nepal on November 10 to volunteer at schools in Chitwan.
The group has a bag of resources to distribute to Nepalese schools and villages, including books, stationary, blankets, beanies and teachers’ aids.
Having attended the rotary trip previously, Chloe Smith and Brenton Langridge will join as mentors.
Miss Smith said she was returning because she’d never visited a country so rich with love and culture and full of people prepared to give despite having little.
“Being among the Nepalese people changes your perspective of life,” she said.
