abhey-smallWhen we learned about the plans for Watercolours' resident Abhey Sur to climb Mount Kilimanjaro we were compelled to share the news.  We join Abhey's parents, LPWRA members Smeeksha Sur & Shiv Singh in supporting this great initiative.  

doctors-without-borders-mdecins-sans-frontires-msf-thumb14 year old Abhey, who hopes to be a doctor one day is fundraising for Doctors Without Borders by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro!  Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest 'walkable' mountain in the world.  The trek to the summit is a magnificent and spectacular 5-9 night undertaking and ranks amongst the greatest outdoor challenges on the planet.  Abhey will begin his trek on December 20 and hopes to reach the summit on Christmas Day.

We are hoping our community can acknowledge this incredible endeavour by donating to Doctors Without Borders in response to this initiative.  For more information, please follow the link to his fundraising page.
