Namaste! listen below to Active Hearts founder Dan Keys chatting with the amazing Sian from @SpinningYarnsWithSian on all things Active Hearts. Have yourself a wonderful day 🙏🌻❤️🤙Spinning Yarns With Sian Episode #21:
On Thursday the 13th of April, my guest on Spinning Yarns With Sian on Radio One 91FM was the amazing Dan Keys!
Dan has been a senior trekking guide for 17 years in Aotearoa, Australia, Nepal, Bhutan, and Tanzania; he is passionate about sustainability and tiny houses; and is the Founder of the Active Hearts Foundation.
We had a kōrero about the origins of the Active Hearts Foundation, the seventeen projects they have undertaken so far - including building school libraries and medical center's in rural Nepal; their current and future projects; and the Nepalese, who are his second whānau.
Dan is a keen surfer, and he lives on the beautiful Aparima/Riverton coast, where the surf is dope, but the WiFi is choppy. So, please forgive the few brief pockets that his audio was lost. Click: www.mixcloud.com/Radio_One_91fm_Dunedin/spinning-yarns-with-sian-episode-21/ to listen to our episode and hopefully be activated and inspired.
