About this Course

In June 2011, seven SNC students and two faculty members will travel with the Truckee, CA-based Bodhi Tree Foundation to deliver pre/postnatal vitamins and medical supplies to the women of Humla, the most remote region of Nepal, deep in the western Himalayas. This trip will be the center of two courses each student will complete; the students will gain traditional academic and real-world knowledge of Service Learning as well as Nepali art and culture. In addition to our service, we will visit many significant cultural and religious monuments for both Buddhists and Hindus. Join us as we prepare for this adventure of a lifetime.

A Place to Organize this Course

I am setting up this course on blogger (and not on Moodle, Blackboard, or another course delivery system) for multiple reasons. 1) we can now use it to organize all kinds of information about the trip starting immediately; 2) Students will be able to join and make their own posts; 3) Parents will be able to access the resources here to help prepare students, as well access and understand the trip information directly; 4) Non-travellers will be able to read students' reactions to the pre-, during- and post-trip activities, and view photos.

Also not insignificantly, I know how to use blogger.

Bon Voyage, new blog.
