Ms Walker (25) is among a group of intrepid Australians who will travel to the Nawalparasi region to volunteer their time, including helping to build a school.
An experienced social worker, she said she had seen first-hand what a huge difference education and support could mean in a child’s life.
‘I decided to sign up for Nepal 2014 because I have always been an advocate for children, and wanted to be a part of creating change for their future. It’s an added bonus that I get to have an adventure like no other,’ she said.
‘Save the Children has a huge heart for those in need, they’re dedicated to creating better lives for children, which is something I think everyone wants.’
