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

AND WE"RE OFF

We'll its been a busy last few days packing and repacking and then packing some more and hoping for the best when we got to the airport check in- it was touch and go for a bit but Singapore airlines was fantastic and not too many items of gear were sacrificed. The amount of gear we have received and purchased is phenomenal.
At the moment Hayley and I are in Singapore eagerly awaiting to meet the rest of the crew who flew from Auckland early this morning with not just two heavy boats laden with gear but five, so hope all went well at their end.
On behalf of the Kiwi team we would like to say a huge thank you to all our sponsors, whether it was new or second hand gear, money, discounts, baggage allowance and even advice.This project would not have possible without the help and support of you all.
Onwards to Kathmandu!
Keep reading the blog as we will update as much as we can.
