Throughout history--extremes have proven time and time again to fail miserably. The key to happiness and success is balance.
In today's day and age, the time has come to balance our society. We must work together to help those in need, but not in the traditional ways we've been doing it thus far. Since WWII, the global community has made a huge push in foreign aide, in countries just like Nepal. These developing countries have since become reliant on the aide and the state of living has not improved--why should it, if everything is being provided from the outside?
There is a saying in the Christian faith--"Give a man a fish, feed him for a day--Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime." This statements rings ever true in regards to foreign aide. Foreign entities, who do not know the people, terrain, culture, or needs of the people, can not simply drop a load of money and disappear and expect change to happen spontaneously.
That is why we, at Trek Nepal Int'l, have decided to partner with local NGO's that are not only improving the quality of life for the villagers of rural Nepal--but are also educating the masses on eco-friendly and culturally responsible practices to promote lasting economic, environmental, and social success.
We believe, that if you come to enjoy a place, you should also give back--so that the next person after you can enjoy. By volunteering you will not only leave area you visit a better place for the next traveler, but you will also provide economic support and knowledge to local villagers that will ensure their livelihood for generations to come. You yourself will be blessed with the experience of a lifetime, while getting to explore the beautiful, remote parts of Nepal. Its a win-win situation for all that are involved.
Our first volunteering trekking experience is in collaboration with SADA (Social Awareness and Development Association) from the Baitadi (Far West) District of Nepal. You can work with everything from education, to women's health, to agro projects and sustainable development.
Whatever knowledge you have will be warmly welcome by the people of Far West Nepal and you will be warmly welcomed in the homes of the kindest people you can imagine.
