My story

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 12 inner city young people to undertake a major 15day expedition to India in August 2007.

The aims of the trip are three-fold

firstly to make the First Youth Descent of the Zanskar Gorge (the 'Grand Canyon of India') by raft and kayak. This will involve 2days warming up on the Indus, a 3day bus journey to the start of the gorge and 5days self-supported in the gorge itself
secondly to enhance the personal and social development for all involved, as the young people will be organising the trip themselves, including all the logistics and fundraising the £24,000 necessary for the trip to go ahead.
and thirdly to be a motivational tool for the young people of Hackney through a lecture tour produced by the group on thier return and taken to local youth groups and watersports centre to show what you can achieve if you work hard.
