Everest South 2011 Clean Climb Update

Training is on schedule and involves long distance runs, strength training and yoga/Tai Chi for balance and flexibility.
Amber has been on an extended trek to his home village in Lumsa. He has taken HED funds to pay for the teacher/Librarian pay for The Jana Priya School.
He will also be travelling to The Full Moon Shaman Festival to document this ancient, and soon to be forgotten, event!
I am working with various Gear Companies in obtaining some Everest Essentials.Gear and Training(www.gearandtraining.com)has been fantastic in helping me to get the best deals available! Steven McCarthey, Owner, has been going "the extra mile"! And I am extremely grateful!
When you are facing tempatures of -50 below and winds in excess of 60+ MPH....You can't "compromise on quality"!
The Himalayan Education Development Project is "on board" to be the major contributor for a Mini Hydo-Electric Project in the Tapting region of Nepal. It will also serve The Jana Priya Secondary School, one of HED's premier projects.
When completed....it will be the first time this area and the school has ever had electricity!
Thank You All for Your Continuing Interest and Support!
Amber Tamang and Jim Tillotson
