"Lasso" to all our friends and supporters!
Lasso is a commonly used Tamang greeting and I pass it on to you all!
We have been very busy since the last post with preparing for our upcoming Summitting For Schools - Island Peak trek and climb as well as various fund raising activities!
Training to climb a 20,000 foot Himalayan peak is a prime focus of my daily routine these days!
Even though it is not a "tall" peak by Himalayan standards.... it still requires a fairly regimented schedule to be in shape for the trek in....the time "At Altitude"....and the climb itself!
So I am pushing my 55 yr old body to it's limits and enjoying every minute of it!
The Himalayan Education Development Project has a number of "Events" coming up in September:
Labor Day Full Moon Paddle with Evergreen Outfitters
Evergreen Outfitters in Ashville has offerred to donate $5.00 of all participants fees for this event to HED! We are very grateful to Mike and the staff for their kindness in helping further our efforts! So check out their web site and join this unique event!
Antique Study Club slideshow/lecture - Sept. 9 -1PM
I will be giving a slideshow/lecture at the YWCA Lodge in Lakewood.
There will be photos and video of our recent trek into the Tapting region of Nepal where we helped dedicated the Jana Priya Secondary School Community Library which was built and furnished through funds raised by The HED Project.
Himalayan Journeys Presentation - Sept. 26 - 7 PM.
A slideshow/ lecture will be presented highlighting The HED Project Efforts in the remote areas of the Himalayas. Our recent July 2009 trek to the Tapting region of Nepal will be the focus of this presentation.
Your $10.00 donation to this event will go to our current and upcoming HED Projects!
Refreshments will be served!
I am currently involved in a Buddhist Studies Course through a Buddhist Cultural Center located in British Columbia. Even though I have been a student of Buddhism and a practising Budddhist for 20 plus years....I felt it was time to obtain a degree in Buddhist Studies....which will help me as a trip leader for 3 Jewels Adventures and also with my work in The Himalayan Education Development Project. So....after having just retired from teaching....I am going back to school!
That's the update from all of us here at 3 Jewels Adventures and HED!
Thank you all for your support and interest!
Amber Tamang and I send our best wishes to All!
