Description

Come join us in Nepal where mystery, history, and beauty all come together in the foothills of the Himalayas. Even with all the beauty Nepal is among the poorest and one of the least developed countries in the world. Nearly one-third of the population lives below the poverty line. In order to change this we need people just like you willing to join us and make a difference. Bring a group of friends, family, co-workers, or church members and bring hope to families in need of a hand up not a hand out.

Location: Kankad and Trishuli

Highlights

Spend a week or two immersing yourself in a new and different culture as you work side-by-side with local families who are in need of a simple and decent place to lay their heads at night. During your trip you will get to experience the joys of partnering with a family in need and building a foundation for them to grow on. While our work site is an active construction zone, it is also an active neighborhood with many families, and children. You will have many opportunity to interact and get to know the surrounding community. In addition to working on the construction of the homes you will also have the opportunity to explore ancient temples and beautiful country sides.
