A unique partnership set up by Tashi Lama, a Buddhist monk from the Tengboche Monastery and James Lamb from Scotland. Profits from this partnership are donated to The Little Sherpa Foundation which was originally established to support families affected by climbing incidents in Mount Everest National Park in Nepal. However, the recent devastating earthquakes changed that, so the charity now helps anyone in the region in need. Some of the proceeds from this exhibition will be donated to The Little Sherpa Foundation. A short walk in the Solu Khumbu, Nepal October 2017 Back in October 2016 I came home from holiday to an e mail from James Lamb asking if I would like to go trekking with him in Nepal, he knew of my work as an artist and wondered if I would be interested in making some pictures of Nepal to raise money for his charity the little Sherpa foundation. I must have thought about it for all of thirty seconds before writing back with an enthusiastic yes. James and his wife Karen came to visit and we walked our dogs around Inverpoly while discussing plans, we were reassured when James told us that trekking in the Khumbu would be no harder.
