A year in review

Although compared to last year, with its successful K2

trek and the inauguration of the new Wild Frontiers

Foundation charity, 2012 was a quite year, there

were some pieces of reportable news. First and

foremost was the wonderful news that we finally

managed to close down the Melanie Akroyd Trust

(MAT) and transfer some £43,000 over to the WFF.

This left us with a very healthy bank balance of

over £60,000.

And our main project at Baleygon in Northern

Pakistan came to fruition with the opening of three

new classrooms.

Baleygon School Skardu District, Pakistan

Perhaps the most exciting thing to happen in

2012, was the opening of the classrooms at

Baleygon Primary School in August. Although

these rooms have been a long time coming –

almost two years – it was great to see them

finally there, ready to be used by the children.

I took at small group of tourists to the village

and we were overwhelmed by the reception

we received as the whole community turned

out to fete us, and thank us for providing this

little piece of help. It was particularly pleasing

seeing, and hearing from, the children now

dressed in their smart new uniforms.

A far cry indeed from our last visit.

Although as you will see from Atta’s latest

report – issued just before Christmas 2012

– we’re still a long way from finishing the

project, we are definitely heading in the

right direction.

As soon as we are able we will send the final

sum of money for the furniture. It would also

be a wonderful experience if we could find

someone, or a couple, that could go and help

out at the school for 6 months or a year.

I have remained in touch with Fida Hussain the

convener of the school committee. According

to him the boundary wall of the school is

complete and the three latrines have been

built up. The fixtures are yet to be installed

as they could not do so because cement work

is suspended due to minus temperature. They

shall install fixture by next March. The School

committee met the education officer in order

to get an additional teacher and furniture. He

has regretted that he can’t fulfil neither of

their demands as there are no funds available

in their budget. However, he has promised to

upgrade the status of the school to Middle

level which should help in the future. I have

gathered quotations for wooden chairs from

different suppliers and the average quotation

is Rs.1500.00 per piece. The stock is available

at Skardu and can be provided to the School

any time. The teacher we had appointed is

now in Skardu getting an English language and

computer course; he will return soon. Could

you find a volunteer teacher from the UK?

Chitral School Scholarship

Pakistan

Jonny announces Chitral Education Scholarship at Ayun School, Northern Pakistan

WFF has continued its support of Prince Maqsood Ul Mulk’s educational trust for under privileged children of the Ayun valley – including the people of the Kalash – by providing a donation each year to help the most talented continue their education by attending college in Chitral Town. Choosing 5 children each year purely on merit, of either sex or any ethnic and reli-gious background, gives the talented chil-dren of this remote region the only chance they have of further education. In 2012 WFF provided £500 for this trust.

Donated in 2012 £500

Other projects

Although most of the foundation’s resources this year were channelled towards our two main projects, WFF continue its worthwhile work in other areas.

Environmental

Particularly around Castle Bijaipu in Rajasthan where our arboretum is in good shape with over 120 trees planted and the local school continues to benefit from the computer lab we helped establish.

Education

We also provided modest help go to educational projects in Bundi, Rajasthan, Belize and Ethiopia.

The future

Whilst we will continue to support the charities we have had a long-term relationship with, further energy will be given to the development of education in Northern Pakistan. With our new charitable status we will also work hard to consolidate the foundation’s position, and raise funds for it. Should disasters need our support we will also be there to help.

The other thing we wish to focus on this year, is raising funds. 2012 saw us raise very little and its important if we want the foundation remain relevant and grow, that funds continue to come in. We will therefore have a meeting early this year to decide the best way to do this. We’d like to raise at least £5,000, in 2013.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wild Frontiers Foundation

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 June 2012.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the CharityCommission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

• to state whether QM.1:icular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect therequirements:

• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

• have not been met; or

2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a properunderstanding of the accounts to be reached.
