2009 October RamblingRat Americas Arctic to Antarctic adventure

I am returning to New York to collect the Ratmobile in October to continue the journey south to Ushuaia where i will take a ship to Antarctica, this connects my previous visit to the Arctic sea making a connection from the most Northernly point you can drive to the most southernly point in South America.

I am to launch MAD RamblingRat on this section of my trip where i will show video footage from previous RamblingRat adventures and random musicians and kids that want to put thier message across via YouTube and MySpace.

The vehicle will be showcased at various locations during the journey as local Street Parties to benefit Street Kids where these videos and music will be played and encourage local people to join in to share a unified message to help marginalized youth in thier local community and around the world.

Street Kids International has some of the very best effective solutions with thier youth empowerment programs, so please take a look at the work that they are doing.

Whilst in the Uk i will be updating the website with video footage that i have obtained on the trip of live acoustic bands that have been showing thier support for streetKids international. Also i will be speaking in schools and running a fundraising event in Scotland.
