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

Sun Salutations

Whitney has been saluting the sun for the past few months with the many Yoga classes she has been teaching. She leaves for Nepal in two weeks and from all the people attending her classes, she has made US$1000 towards the Nepali Girls project. With this she will be able to buy a bunch of gear that will be donated to the Nepali Girls Kayak Club. So a huge thanks to all those people who attended Whitney's Yoga-ing and to Whitney who spent many many hours of her time teaching the classes to fundraise for this project.



Here is a photo of the lovely lady herself, looking very comfy in her kayak after all that Yoga
