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.

Strike in Kathmandu

Yesterday, a strike started in KTM regarding the deadline for the extension of the Constituent Assembly on May 28. Most likely, the strike will end before our arrival on June 5. Sarah is leaving for KTM tonight and will keep us posted from the ground (follow Bodhi Tree Foundation on facebook for immediate updates). You can read the article in the Nepali Times and follow the news each day: http://www.nepalitimes.com/blogs/thebrief/2011/05/23/back-to-the-capital/
