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

More gear coming in



Whitney Hansen, from the states has just received a donation of helmets from PRO-TEC. They have donated 12 ACE white-water helmets (pictured above), which is awesome for the Neplai Girls Kayak Club.

Monica Gokey (coming on the trip) has a sweet little donation box set up at a kayak shop called Potomac Paddle Sports in MaryLand (U.S.A). She has had heaps of donations so far including about 12 spraydecks. Here is a picture of the drop box.




North Water have donated about 11 throwbags for the trip, they will be shipped to Nepal too, which means more room to carry other gear. Very exciting.

Here is a little glimpse of the article Inka had in the Sweden Outside Magazine, she is now over in Nepal beginning the selection process for the training programme and sorting out lots of logistics.
