Vodafone’s My First Amazon Adventure begins

The 7 Adventurers of Vodafone’s My First Amazon Adventure left Doha on Thursday, 7 August, heading to Brasil for a journey of a lifetime.

Mohammed Al Shammeri, Tameem Al Hammadi, Leila Al Tamimi, Noor Al Mohannadi, Maqdeem Al Naama, Aisha Al Naama and Mohammed Adel Al Naimi have volunteered to go on a 21-day trek across the Brasilian Amazon.

At the end of the trek, they will help build a school for one of the remotest communities in the area. 

My First Amazon Adventure will see inspiring role model, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulla Al Thani, mentoring the young Qatari Adventurers who are aged between 17 and 24.

Vodafone Qatar, in partnership with Mediadante, announced the launch of My First Amazon Adventure earlier in June this year. The initiative is Vodafone’s local edition of personal Firsts, aligning with Vodafone Group’s global Firsts platform. 

Firsts, initially launched by Vodafone Group in January 2014, is all about human endeavor and achieving something remarkable for the first time enabled by the use of Vodafone technology.

The group will be seen climbing one of the highest mountains in Brasil, cutting their own path through the jungle, making shelter for the night, fishing for piranhas, finding their dinner in the rainforest, making a fire and canoeing from one place to the next; all to arrive at the most important challenge: building a school from scratch.

The physical challenges will reshape them with the cultural experience of working with the local community in Brasil by building the school and having the greatest impact. 

Throughout the entire 21-day journey, Vodafone Qatar will be posting daily feeds on multiple social media platforms to update followers who can communicate with the young Adventurers via Twitter.

Follow them on Twitter @tameemfirsts, @mohammedfirsts, @aishafirsts, @maqdeemfirsts, @noorfirsts, @leilafirsts and @samifirsts. 

The young Qatari adventurers are expected to return on the 28th of August, 2014.
