THE PROTÉGÉS G2 – D17

September 12, 2011

The last day of The Protégés trip to Nepal started off early in the morning. The students went on a one hour airplane tour around the highest summits in Nepal which included the holy mountain and the highest point on earth.

To Mt. Everset :)

The Protégés viewed the highest summit on earth, Mt. Everest, and eight other summits. Students noted how they preferred the holy mount to Mt. Everest in terms of how impressive it looked. Each Protégés, including the mentors, had the opportunity to view the mounts from the captains cabin for a short while to fulfill the experience. The entire ride around the summits was surreal, breathtaking and an experience to remember.

Shortly after, the Protégés headed out for more sight seeing to a Buddhist temple that had monkeys all around. Few of  the monkeys attacked protege Hanan Al Sarraf amongst all students. The tour guide then explained that they attack women because they assume they have fruits in their bags. After walking around the temple, everyone headed to the bus when they saw a rubber snake and all sort of devilish ideas was rushing to their heads. Poor counselor Sharifa was their victim!

To the temple!

Before heading back to the hotel they all stopped by an orphanage to give all the junk food mentor Ahmed Al Majed took from the proteges to the orphans.

All food goes to the orphanage..

 

It was time for The Protégés to head back home. They stopped shortly for a transit at Dubai International Airport.
Hilariously, Everyone ran to McDonalds once they saw it! As they were not allowed to have any of junk food during their trip.

During the transit mentor Yarub Burhamah read along the Protégés Shell Silverstein’s poems. Each student used drama props to read his or her chosen Silverstein poem analyzing the meaning behind it. After, the protégés were asked to build a flying object from different tools he provided. The objective of the activity was to show students that they can be creative and not necessarily build the obvious-an airplane.

Afterwards, Everyone headed to the plane to head back to Kuwait. A trip of a life time, Nepal what a wonder!!!
