Who Cares? Scotland is committed to encouraging high aspirations among children and young people who are, or were, looked after.
In October/November 2009, 25 young people aged 15-22, together with adult supporters, are taking part in a trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal.
In the lead-up to the trek, young people have been experiencing the challenges of fundraising and getting fit. The trek itself will be tough but should offer life-changing experiences to all those involved.
To keep in touch with this exciting challenge why not visit the Reaching Higher website and follow the story as it happens.
