High School Nepal Trekking Trip

The International Award Expedition, one of the qualifying activities for students pursuing the International Award (a division of the Duke of Edinburgh Award) involves students undertaking an arduous journey to test their physical limits and character.  The Expedition, led by ASD teachers Sarah and Joseph Barnes, successfully completed a Trek along the Annapurna Circuit.  Prior to the Trek, students worked at a school in Bhaktapur where they refurbished schoolrooms and spent time teaching students how to play recorders, using donated instruments that were collected by ASD students Emma Grewal and Sabrina Rau.

 Next year’s International Award Expedition is bound to Tanzania to attempt a summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro.  Click here to see the promotional trailer for that trip.
