Amazing Experience in Nepal ~ Namaste

We would begin everyday with yoga, which I just love, breakfast and then drove for about 20 min through the country side to the job site. We built rebar frames that eventually formed the support pillars for the second floor of the school. We hauled 6000 bricks, gathered water from the river to mix with the cement, hauled sand and stone, we got dirty, it was hard work but it was worth it........we helped build a school for marginalized children.

Its hard for me to think of just one highlight of this trip ......there were the kids, always so curious and willing to pose for pictures but no smiles. That is until you showed them the picture that you took of them and then they transformed into beaming smiles of sunshine. I had the opportunity to visit one of the women's homes and help make lunch one day. They have so little and yet so freely give of what they have. Their strong spirits are amazing and inspiring.

That was 4 months ago and to this day just talking about it brings back so many great memories and tears of joy.....I can't wait to go back.

I feel very blessed to have been able to participate in such a personal life changing experience, I truly hope that if you are considering a trip like this that you don't hesitate, you're doing the right thing.

Namaste
