Mission Nepal: Completed Successfully

• A- A A+

XM, together with the NGO Rhea Foundation, made a plan to travel across Nepal in areas where normal cars cannot access with ease in an effort to deliver shoes, clothing and medicine to children, monasteries and people in great need after the devastating earthquake of April 2015, which left more than 8,000 dead and thousands of people homeless.

This trip required endless planning and lots of courage as most of the journey would be made on specialized off-road motorbikes on which, in many cases, support from a car was not possible.

This mission has been completed successfully and the members of the Rhea Foundation, which had taken the responsibility to drive across Nepal and make the deliveries, are now back home safe and sound.
