It was a very nice trip with about 70 people. .

A challange, an adventure to feel the NATURE within us !!

Being in the water, running with it, jumping to catch its waves until we left water; were too much exciting in the one hand and in the other hand, it developed a sensation/pride of being people of Nepal which is a piece of heaven to touch from heart.

Another good consequence was WORLD WATER DAY with us to realize the importance of water, a nature gift and our responsibility to preserve it.

As we all had anticipated, the White Water Rafting program really turned out to be a life time experience for all of us. It was nothing less than a roller coaster ride specially for me, since this is my very first experience in adventure sports.

We would like to thank all the participants and volunteers for making this event a grand success.

General Information
Which skills are life skills?

Life skills are abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life.
Described in this way, skills that can be said to be life skills are innumerable, and the nature and definition of life skills are likely to differ across cultures and settings. However, analysis of the skill field suggests that there is a core set of skills that are at the heart of skills-based initiatives for the promotion of the health and well being of children and adolescents. There is no definitive list of life skills. The list below includes the psychosocial and interpersonal skills generally considered important. The choice of, and emphasis on, different skills will vary according to the topic and local conditions . Though the list suggests these categories are distinct from each other, many skills are used simultaneously in practice. For example, decision-making often involves critical thinking ("what are my options?") and values clarification ("what is important to me?"). Ultimately, the interplay between the skills is what produces powerful behavioral outcomes, especially where this approach is supported by other strategies such as media, policies and health services.
