An Evening in Bhutan comes to Kamloops - April 22

On April 22nd, BPMI co-founder Verdell Jessup will be giving a photo presentation of her two years in Bhutan, entitled "An Evening in Bhutan: Tales from the Buddhist Kingdom" at 7pm at the TRU Clock Tower. We invite everyone to experience Verdell's unique perspective on Bhutan as she lifts the veil into a world rarely seen by Westerners.

BPMI co-founder Rob Grace will be introducing the Bhutan Preventative Medicine Initiative to the public, outlining its mandates, goals, and current ongoings.

There is to be a Silent Auction.

Featured items include fabrics, dress, prints and art from Verdell's travels in Bhutan. Expedition Member Zach Gold, who was recently featured on Kanye West's blog, has graciously donated items from his personal collection in Brooklyn, NY. BPMI Board Member Bradford Keeney, who is known best for his work exploring the spiritual traditions of the Kalahari Bushmen, has also donated for the event.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at Valhalla Pure on Notre Dame and at the Adventure Department Office in Old Main at TRU. Tickets will also be available at the door. Seating is limited.

All monies raised by this event go directly to the BPMI, a registered non-profit society based in Nelson, BC.
