johnnomad Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hello My wife and I are a Canadian couple, living in Zambia. We are currently developing the only Sports Academy for Orphans and Underprivileged Youth in this part of the world. We are in an area with more than 5000 orphans living in about 100 square km around our place, close to Victoria Falls, Zambia. We have a variety of sports that we will implement with the orphans, ranging from football to tennis. In a few months, we will leave Zambia on our motorbike, Yamaha Super Tenere and head to Japan, throughout Africa, Europe (all the way to Nordkapp, Norway) then east to Russia, Japan,then to the West Coast of Canada, US, down to South America to raise funds for our orphans. You can also see our project on: www.motorbikeeurope.com/en/john-nomad-fundraising-expedition Thank you John and Carmen Nomad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnomad Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thank you guys for your support and welcome. I did not have time to reply because we live in Africa and here things are slow and remote. I am on way now from Namibia to Zambia through the heart of the Kalahari in Botswana. Hard to explain the breath taking landscapes my Super Tenere is taking me through... I will keep posting news and updates here and soon on our website: www.nomadsportsacademy.com THanks again for your welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
