In August 2018, Kate Leeming cycled across Ladakh, the Land of High Passes, to help bring light and education to 1100-year-old Ralakung village, the oldest and most remote village in the Indian Himalayas. Nestled in the heart of a remote community, devoid of modern amenities, lies a group of people who have never had the privilege of electricity and education. For Kate, it is crucial to offer this community the opportunity to improve their lives by providing them with the basic necessities that we often take for granted.
