The Himalayan Rescue Association and Musa Masala: Coming Together for Mountain Health and Safety
Musa Masala and the Himalayan Rescue Association (HRA) have gone into an agreement for fundraising and education! We got together at the Wilderness Medical (WMS) summer conference in Snowbird, Utah to celebrate our new partnership.
We actually got started at the HRA’s medical tent at Mount Everest, Everest ER, in 2016, during a WMS trek to Everest Base Camp in support of the clinic. Our co-founder, Dr. Tatiana Havryliuk, was one of the three doctors working for the spring climbing season. As we were sort of helping put up the tent, we talked about ways to help raise money to build the Wongchhu Sherpa Memorial Hospital. That project became our book, Musa Masala: Mountain Girl of the Himalaya, and led us to where we are today.
What's New with Musa! Spring 2024
We are starting a new feature on our website. We will post our quarterly newsletter here for everyone to see. We have been sending these out to our mailing list, but with all the rapid progress we want everyone to see how Musa Masala is moving, grooving and making it happen with awesome projects! We will also have all the old newsletters easily accessible so you can relive the good times.
Check out our spring newsletter below and please take the time to make a donation. We only move forward with the support of people like you. Jam Jam!!
Musa Masala: Who We Are, What We Do
We thought for this post we would put the brakes on, pull over and have a little chat: What is Musa Masala all about and what do we do?
So here you go. Always remember you can contact us here if you have any questions. We hope you get some good answers and that you will help support our projects.
Season's Greetings to All from Musa Masala
As 2020 thankfully draws to a close, we want to take a few moments to thank everyone who has supported us through this fearful year. Our members and friends have experienced some truly horrible things. We hope you all are coping as best as you can, and that next year will see a new, brighter and healthier time for all of us. We have a few things going on in this post.
A Season for Hope: The Musa Masala Holiday Gift Package
This year we wanted to put something special together for the end of the year. We wish you all health, happiness and a brighter future. We celebrate all who have sacrificed so much this year to help others, to save lives and to comfort the sick. All of us at Musa Masala send our prayers and deepest sympathies to anyone who has lost friends or family this year.
Musa Masala: Who We Are
Thanks to everyone who participated in our very first virtual comedy Jam Jam!!
We’re grateful to our comedians and emcee, Louis Beck. A big thank you to Kellie Lin Knott, who engineered and ran the show, too. She did an amazing job shuffling everyone around.
We plan on using this format for more comedy events and we’ll also feature guest speakers and educational programs for climbers and trekkers and all sorts of outdoor enthusiasts.
