Story

As a team 3, we endeavor to undertake a ‘never done before’ Kayak expedition here in the UAE. Our aim is to complete the 600km journey from the most Southernly point near Al Sila in Abu Dhabi on the border of Suadi Arabia, all the way up to the most Northernly point Al Jeer Fort in Ras Al Khaimah in a kayak.

Living off sustainable sources and essentially off the grid for 28 days we aim to raise funds for the Al Jalila Foundation as well as awareness for the Darkness into Light Campaign in the UAE. Each morning we will start before dawn and paddle into the light to symbolise there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Please see below the groups we will be raising money and awareness for: Al Jalila Foundation promotes medical education and research by investing in the UAE’s medical treatment capabilities, it provides scholarships to nurture a home-grown generation of medical professionals and supports ground-breaking research that addresses health challenges prevalent in the region Darkness into Light UAE- Equipped with an urge to help those most vulnerable, Darkness into Light UAE is a unique voluntary initiative striving to improve the quality of life for those suffering in darkness, through the alleviation of stigma around mental health, and identification or provision of accessible, effective and appropriate support services.

Each of us is trying to create our own positive change in the world and we would appreciate all the help we can get. Please donate whatever you can to this great cause, all funds will go to the Al Jalila Foundation.

Thank you,

The Adventure Centre Trio
