Capt. Audrey Deepika Maben is India’s first woman motorglider pilot and also India’s first woman microlight flying instructor. She will attempt to circumnavigate the earth with her 19 year old daughter Amy Mehta in Pipistrel Sinus motorglider. We are more than happy to support them with our knowledge and experiences flying long distance over remote places of the world. http://wefly.org.in/the-flock/
WE! is about women.
And it is about empowerment, not just their own, but of others.
It’s not just about inspiring people, or leading by example, or breaking through the glass ceiling. WE! is a clarion call, to not just send the elevator down, but to ride along while holding the hands of the girls and women who never thought they could rise.
And what better way to rise, than to take to the skies.
WE! is a movement where women and girls across the world will get the opportunity to experience flight, to taste freedom in its purest sense, to feel the elation that comes from being airborne and to let their aspirations soar beyond the highest glass ceiling.
The WE! Expedition, the world’s first circumnavigation by an Indian woman pilot in a motorglider, seeks to shatter global, cultural and gender barriers to send a clear message to the world, that for a woman willing to rise, the sky is the limit.
