Prince Harry trekked deep into the Himalayas to help rebuild a school destroyed by the 2015 earthquake. He worked with Team Rubicon UK, a charity which uses the skills and experience of military veterans alongside first responders to deploy emergency response teams.
It was a back-breaking task as there was no machinery available, so the team had to work with local tools and smash up rocks by hand
He decided to join the charity project after being moved by 'the people and country' during a five-day official tour last month
Prince Harry has completed a back-breaking charity project to help rebuild a school in a remote Nepalese village devastated by last year's earthquake. Trekking deep into the Himalayas, the royal, 31, joined a disaster relief charity for six days to help the stricken community construct classrooms so that children no longer had to take lessons in makeshift structures made from tarpaulin and tin. He had initially gone on a five-day tour of the country nearly a year after the huge earthquake claimed 9,000 lives, largely in rural areas, and left many tens of thousands of people displaced.
