Yesterday, local activist Bashar Al-Huneidi set out on a 200km kayak journey around Kuwait’s islands to raise awareness about our local maritime environment and the issues affecting it, especially the many forms of pollution. This morning Bashar ran into an issue with his support boat and now the journey has been postponed a bit.
Bashar is documenting and sharing his journey via his instagram account using solar powered internet from his sponsor Gulf Telecom, so he’s got internet even out in the middle of nowhere. Make sure you follow him not only as encouragement but also because this is for a good cause and any exposure will help. His instagram account is @kayak4kuwait

His videos are cool. i found out about him from Shiek Majed Al-Subah’s Snapchat, he was featured on Majed Al-Subah’s Friends account. cool stuff 😀
Amazing effort, and for a very good cause too.
Oh and to those who just heard about him, he’s not a young guy, quite old. Which makes this even more impressive.
how is he charging his phone to use the internet
probably a battery pack
He’s got a solar charger and a range of other great kit from some great local companies who are supporting him in this. He goes into more detail on his instagram account @kayak4kuwait.
This one is supercool. They contacted me to shoot a doc for it but my camera is dying so I couldn’t. The idea is pretty great and the would be a great little adventure.
