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.

thermarests and trash bags!

Hey all! So we are 11 days away! Holy Cow! So a few things to know. Your thermarest needs to be opened before we get to Nepal! They have been packed in that tiny bag since they were made so it is going to take it a while to fully self inflate open it now and let it sit out till we leave. That way when we get on the mountain you are not sleeping on a mat that isn't inflating. Also I bought a box of trash compactor bags that are now in Amye's Office, feel free to take some.

On another note I've started a personal blog for the trip and this is the link... Can't wait to see you all again! http://elizabethtrekkingnepal.blogspot.com/
