Justus Meyer, former Mad River guide and his friend have teamed up to create the North South Venture, a campaign to raise money for the Millennium Villages Project. Their blog can be found HERE. They will be traveling from Northern Africa to Southern Africa to raise money for the Millennium Villages Project.
What is the Millennium Villages Project?
(A short excerpt from their blog)
How The Millennium Villages Model Works-
The model is simple yet powerful – to introduce a broad range of interventions that address all at the same time the specific needs of each village. Equally as important is that the villagers themselves own and drive all the work being done through Millennium Promise. They are our partners and they are the keys to success. These practical, proven, integrated, low-cost investments are provided under the scientific and technical guidance of the Millennium Promise Scientific Council, the UN Millennium Project, and The Earth Institute at Columbia University.
Mad River is a river outfitter based in Jackson WY. Our experienced guides are trained and will keep you safe while showing you a great time during one of our many scenic floats or exhilarating white water rafting trip packages.
