New Outdoor Learning Centre in the Himalaya
Our friends and partners of Chrysalid Outdoor Learning Centres in India have recently opened their second location of Outdoor Learning Centres at the scenic Village of Mohal Tou in the upper reaches of the Kangra Valley in the Himalaya. It is close to the village of Mcleodganj known worldwide for the presence of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama.
The area provides spectacular mountain views of the mighty snow-covered Dhauladhars and is close to the famous temple of Indru Nag. It is the perfect place for spiritual discoveries and exciting outdoor adventures.
Visits of the area include the Dalai Lama’s village with its bustling bazaar, the Main Temple of Tsuglag Khang, The Nampyalma Stupa, erected as a memorial to those Tibetans who lost their lives fighting for a free Tibet, and Bhagsunag Fall with its old temple.
Action-packed activities in the mountains include day treks, multi-day high altitude treks to Tirund and the Indrahaar Pass, paragliding, rock climbing, rappelling, river crossing, mountain biking etc.
The comfortable tented camp is perfect for groups, individuals and corporate clients.

Video about Social Reality Tour Moshi/Kilimanjaro
Our first video clip is now online. It is about the Social Reality Tour in Moshi. Social Reality Tour was initiated by World Unite! to support families and individuals living with HIV/AIDS and to give visitors insights into the social reality of Tanzania. All revenues directly go to the supported individuals.
The 8 minutes video accompanies social worker and HIV counselor Fundasia Kishe of KIWAKKUKI into Njoro Ward, a slum area of Moshi/Kilimanjaro, where she visits 3 patients affected by HIV, accompanied by 3 visitors from Germany. You, as a tourist in Tanzania, can take part in the Social Reality Tour - just book through its website. Or, if you have a little more time, come to Moshi/Kilimanjaro as a volunteer and help us improve the Social Reality Tour, or volunteer with the NGO KIWAKKUKI or any other of our various projects!
We will add many more videos about our projects and locations within the next few weeks! Why not subscribe to our Youtube Channel?

There will be the two age groups of 4-8 years and 8-14 years. At around 3 p.m. there will a friendship match for the 15-18 years old between a mixed selection of Moshi youth centres and the Amani Orphanage.
Additionally, some of our volunteers will offer “Girls’ entertainment” which includes make-up (Annika, Amelie, Elli), juggling (Rebekka and Christina), rope jumping (Marei and Lisa) and cheerleading (Steffi and Tabea). The children of KYSTC will further perform a 90 minutes show program including Hip Hop, traditional dance, drumming etc.
The idea of this event is to encourage the children and youth to discover and develop talents, and to feel confident to perform their skills in front of other people. If you are nearby the Moshi area, please come and visit this fantastic event – if you want to support it in any way, please contact Olaf (medienkontor@gmx.de).
The location is in Moshi Pasua near Kili Orphanage/Springlands Hotel. Visitors are advised to go to Springlands Hotel and ask for the exact location. The program will be from 11 am to around 4 pm.
