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.

Our home in Kathmandu

Sarah has chosen our home in Kathmandu for the trip, and I think you all are going to like it. Here is what she said:

I think the girls would rather be in the middle of the craziness of the tourist district (Thamel) where there is great shopping, people & food. We will be staying at the Tibet Guest House. I have stayed there many times and all the women on the 2008 trip loved it! The view of Swayambunath from the rooftop at night is beautiful!

What is also great is that the neighborhood, Thamel, is well-covered in the guidebooks, so you can start reading about what is around.
