Hello All!
It has been a very busy and exciting month! The Sharing The Load 50 mile Walk and The Concert/Open House are on track and we are hoping for a large turnout and many kind donations to help HED and The International Institute of Erie continue to serve as many as we are able! I am on track with my training despite a "minor" shoulder problem.
HED and 3 Jewels Adventures will be heading to The Tamang Cave people in April, bringing with us funds and supplies to help the 58 who have been living in caves, once used by their ancestors.since their village was destroyed by a landslide and the bridge linking them with the main trade route, was also lost.
We will be heading to the Langtang region, near the Tibetan border April 24 to April 30. I will be heading over April 14 and returning May 12. I am looking forward to going back to my "second home"! Even though I have been busy in the States with fund raising efforts, slide shows, and promotional work for HED and 3 Jewels Adventures....Nepal, Kathmandu and The Himalayas "Keep calling to me"! I'll be returning again in August to help document The Full Moon Shaman Festival!
Amber has also been very busy in Kathmandu with HED and 3 Jewels Adventures promotions and trip plans! It is a difficult time in Kathmandu because the Gov't has instituted "Load Sharing" which means that the electricity is shut off for 6 hours..twice a day! This makes running businesses, communications etc. very difficult. But as My Brother says "It Is What It Is". Amber recently spearheaded the formation of The Nepal Guides Cooperative, which I detailed in an earlier posting. Then he sent me an attachment detailing The Nepal Guides Cooperative 2011 Everest South Climb! It will be a total Nepali run Expedition! It will be led by KB Tamang(Amber's younger brother), who summitted Everest on May 20th, 2009! We will also be helping to remove trash and garbage from Everest as well! The cost is Half of what one would pay to a Western based expedition! We are looking for a minimum of 4 climbers with a maximum of 7. I am the 1st to sign on....after having to agree to certain "concessions" from Sue! We also have another "possible" client already!
The entire Expedition will be filmed by Kanuri Sherpa and others as part of our ongoing Documentary production.... "The Unseen Himalayas". Amber and I will handle logistics etc. And....if the conditions are right and "The planets line up correctly"....we may make our own summit attempt!
So please check out our 3 Jewels Adventures website - www.3jewelsadventure.com and our HED site...www.himalayaneduproject.org. for upcoming Treks and Climbs and HED ongoing projects!
A parting thought...."When One Combines Inspiration With Resolve..One Creates An Explosion Of Success!".
Amber Tamang and I wish you all The Best!
