Mongolian Adventure!

Picture
Climate change and the Covid pandemic have had far reaching impacts  across our planet, none of our global families have been left unaffected.  
Fortunately we in Canada, the United States, Europe and the western  world have many supports to see us through these difficult times, others  across the world have not been as fortunate.  
There are some, one remarkable woman in particular, Julie Veloo, of the  Veloo Foundation, who has taken up the cause to bring hope and help to  those displaced and marginalized children of Mongolia without any such  supports.  
The Blue Wolf Totem Expedition is an amazing opportunity to raise  funds for the Veloo Foundation’s Children Of The Peak Sanctuary  Project. Their initiative is dedicated to empowering, and changing the  lives of disadvantaged children of displaced nomadic families in the  Ulaanbaatar neighbourhood in Mongolia who have been forced to  survive from what they and their families could scavenge from the local  dump. The Veloo Foundation’s commitment to feed, educate, nurture  and contribute to healing through love; all the while advocating for their  mothers to find new purpose and meaning in their lives, is nothing short  of miraculous.  
As a young girl I vividly remember seeing images of beautiful  Mongolian nomadic people on horseback, traversing the incredible  Mongolian steppe, and deciding one day that I would experience the  culture of these magnificent humans and their wild Mongolian horses. 
I’ve travelled extensively, though not as a typical tourist. I love  wilderness trekking, especially at altitude. I am called to more remote  locations and am interested in cultures and peoples who live in close  proximity and relationship with the natural world. 
To me there is no better feeling of connection with nature than to ride  the wilderness on horseback where both the horse and I feel most at  home. 
From my own commitment to support and advocate for disadvantaged  and at risk children and youth throughout my career in social services, to  my own wild passion and love for horses and their wild nature, I feel  deeply honoured to have been invited onto this expedition in support of  these marginalized Mongolian children and families, 
Each of us expedition participants has made a commitment to raise  $4,000USD in support of the project.  
My hope is to FAR surpass this goal. Together we may FAR exceed our  goal in support of Children Of The Peak Sanctuary Project. 
All donations by Canadian and US residents will be issued a tax  deductible receipt for their donation. 
100% of your donation will be exclusively in support of the children. 
Please join me in bringing hope and healing to the children, and to  honour the selfless service of Julie Veloo and her team at the Veloo  Foundation in support of Children Of The Peak Sanctuary Project.

The reason why this ride matters!

 Seeing these children safe and warm at the Children of the Peak Sanctuary is what motivates me. Thank you for helping me help them!
