May 2010 update ..
BEYOND THE SMILE LITERACY PROGRAM ON TRACK! SEE LITERACY PAGE FOR DETAILS AND BELOW FOR AN EXCITING WAY TO BE INVOLVED!
Solu Literacy trek: I am taking expressions of interest for a trek which will include a home stay and visit to the literacy class in Lura. We will be sharing a workshop with the women of Lura. The aim is to help them identify and eventually implement a financially and environmentally sustainable future locally. . Not only that!!! You also get a unique chance to learn everything I know about trekking, to hear Everest stories and to share yours in a non threatening yet stunningly beautiful and challenging environment. Get a few friends together and treat yourself to an experience that will stay with you for a long time! Maximum of 8 participants. 12 days ex Kathmandu. January 2011. Contact me for details
In November 2009 I guided Three Peaks in the Khumbu for World Expeditions in the Everest area of Nepal. There were 11 members in the team including 4 women. Most reached the top of the 3 peaks, and all were thrilled by the experience and what they learned..
“ The trip was excellent, I think I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would!” “Thanks so much for a great trip - to meet everyone and have such experiences and to learn many lessons”
This trip is on again in November 2010. Contact me for details and see treks and climbs page
For the last four years I have been working on a documentary based on my experiences in Nepal and the questions I ask myself about my Nepali coworkers.
