Taking Students to New Heights

In April 2009, Kentz sponsored 11 students from Park House School in Doha, Qatar, to complete a trekking expedition in Nepal.

The group, accompanied by two teachers from the school, trekked 100km in four days, during which the students carried day packs, stayed in very basic accommodation and sampled the local cuisine.  Each of the students managed to reach the staggering 3,210m peak that they had set out to achieve.

After the trekking phase, the group flew down to the southern part of the country for more adventure.  They explored the Royal Chitwne National Park for four days, where they rode and washed elephants, spotted rhinoceroses and crocodiles, and took part in white-water rafting.

Park House School is one of the leading educational providers in Qatar. Expeditions of this sort  allow students to enjoy a range of experiences that will complement the excellent academic instruction received at the school. Kentz is proud to be assisting Park House School in giving their students a more holistic education, and congratulates the students on their remarkable achievement.
