What this is all about - Scroll down for latest updates!!!

This blog is all about a kayaking project for Nepali girls and our adventure to get over there and help them out. We will keep you updated through this blog with how sponsorship and donations are going and hopefully while we are over there we can keep posting on here - Thanks for checking it out.

The aim of the project is to produce a group of female river guides to work on the rivers in Nepal as safety kayakers, raft guides and kayak instructors. It will be a perfect base for the women to start training and eventually work and support themselves as employees or free lance guides within the Nepal white-water industry.

If you would like to help out in any way with this project whether it's advice, sponsorship, gear, donations, idea's or anything else then please send us an email, give us a call or follow the donations link, it would be much appreciated. Cheers

Check out Inka Trollsas's website (she is the instigator of this awesome project), which has more info about the trip and how things are going from her end. http://www.farawayadventures.com/nepaligirlkayakers.php

Emi and her Mumma working those needles

Emi Earle, part of the Kiwi crew, is over in Ireland at the moment, and has been working super hard with her Mum (Anne). The duo has been crocheting beanies frantically over the last couple of weeks in an effort to raise funds toward the project. They have done a fantastic job, raising $270 by selling the beanies. Thanks to all the staff at the Belfast Adventure Centre who purchased the styley hats, and also to the crew at TIDES who will now be sporting the brightly coloured beanies.
Thanks so much to Emi and Anne for all their late night crocheting. Those beanies aren't quick to make and they only had limited time. Emi is of to India in the next few days for an exciting adventure where she will make her way across the country and boarder to meet up with us on the 12th of November in Kathmandu.
