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.

Himalayan Rescue Association

Hey, this is important!
Don't be this guy.

If you are interested in reading more about Acute Mountain Sickness, this is a great resource. To tell the truth, we are not going into a situation that has extreme risk for AMS, and Sarah has built a trekking plan that includes plenty of acclimatization days. Of course, we will definitely want to be aware of the symptoms just in case.
