There is little doubt that the ability to put on an event such as this on the other side of the planet is not feasible without several very generous sponsors. WAW would like for formally thank Jim Click automotive that supplied air miles that enabled travel to our destination.  Also to Cathay Pacific/Dragon air for flying […]

A brief description of the facility and our daily general schedule may assist in visualizing the event in Kathmandu. The 3 day event, from May 10-12, was held at the “Covered Hall”…..the same facility the National Nepalese Men’s Basketball team uses to practice and play games at. The court is full size and offers spectator seats […]

On a sunny and warm Tuesday afternoon (local Nepal time) Dan is greeted at the airport by Michael Rosenkrantz and Bishnu & Bikram of Nature Trails Tours and Trekking, and Bharat Kargee of Nepal Wheelchair Rugby Association.      

Early Sunday morning, May 5, 2013, Dan will begin the long journy to Kathmandu….with many airline transfers, long layovers and a huge amount of excitement at meeting and working with the wonderful people of Nepal.
