This post is dedicated to highlighting the great potential that hiking has for ridding society of some of its ills.
The story features a young man and woman, Henry Mungalsingh and Saffiya Ali, who use their love of mountain climbing to remedy a problem close to their hearts and to the hearts of many.
Their goal is to build a home for pregnant teens and children in Trinidad. Currently, there are close to 50 homes in this country and all are filled to capacity. Having identified this need, Mungalsingh's Home for Angels and Little Ones (HALO) cause will use 100 per cent of all donations and pledges received from the national or international community for building, while all climbs, including airfare, travel insurance, food and accommodation, equipment and guides, will be self-funded.
Their bravery and generosity is therefore recognized and they are wished all the best on these most challenging hikes. Their well-being is kept in prayer at all times.
Anyone wishing to donate to the building fund can visit HALO's website www.climbfortriniangels.com
