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.

Thank you, Tahoe City Rotary!

Thank you to the Tahoe City Rotary who heard from Jen Hurth and me earlier tonight. Their club has partnered to build two libraries in remote areas of Nepal, and it was a pleasure to meet the man who traveled two years ago to dedicate the buildings. We also received a generous donation of $190 to help pay for our trekking skirts so we can continue to be culturally sensitive during our travels. Thanks again, TC Rotary!!
