Making a contribution:
All CWH trips are run with the underlying philosophy of making a contribution to the place and people where we go for our holidays. This time we will be supporting Riverdale, a school and orphanage, based in the nearby village of Pokhriabong and run by a native girl, Smrithi, and involved in spreading awareness about saving the forests and pangolins, an ant eater. A day trip to this pretty village and time spent with the kids will be the highlight of the trip. You can sponsor a child or make a contribution in any other way.
