Community

As a Nepali-American, this program allowed me to understand the cultures and peoples of Nepal to a much deeper extent than what I have been exposed to in the United States. I made so many amazing friendships during this program, both with my peers and the different communities we lived with during our stay. I am beyond grateful for this amazing opportunity to have learned from the local people in the various places we stayed. I also trekked for my first time ever and now feel a much stronger connection to the Himalayas. Our stay in the Kathmandu Valley was so enriching for me because we learned of the history of these ancient cities and kingdoms. I will never forget the many things I was able to learn from this trip.
