You can easily imaging that such a project has mandatory expenses... We are a non-profit organisation, and all our instructors and administrator are volunteers. Our Teens regularly organize some fund raising operations, BUT as you certainly know fund raising is always an issue.
I you want to encourage and help our teens in there mountaineering projects, you can do it here! (great oaks from little acorns grow)
And please specify for which activity you donated! And thank you very much for the Teens
