About the team
Chris and Alison Burns moved to the south of France from the UK in 2002. Since that time they have built up and now run a successful holiday and yoga centre. In the winter Chris, formerly a gas engineer, renovates and upgrades the property, while Alison writes and teaches Yoga. In November 2013 they made a trip to Nepal and returned home determined to help alleviate some of the poverty they had witnessed. Nepal Remote Villages Trust is the result. Mark Gallant, ACMA, CGMA, is a qualified and experience accountant now based in Lot-et-Garonne, France. He is making his time and expertise available to Nepalrvt as treasurer.
