Doug Scott will be in Glasgow on 6 & 7 Oct
The lectures, accompanied by unique photography, raise money for Community Action Nepal which was founded by Doug Scott. The aim of the mountaineers’ charity is to help mountain people to help themselves raise their standard of living and strengthen indigenous, community-based culture. The charity has been involved in over 40 projects in Nepal, the sixth poorest country in the world, including building a school, a health centre and a porter’s lodge.
Doug Scott sees himself as facilitator, being in the fortunate position since the successful Everest South West Face climb and crawling down the Ogre with broken legs, to influence positively the move towards responsible mountain tourism and supporting mountain communities, as he says, “without even getting my hands dirty.”
The lectures are always entertaining and thought-provoking. Check out the dates, times and venues on the CAN website.
