• Hoops for Nepal

  Though I won’t be heading back to Nepal this summer, many of the members of last year’s team will be heading back this summer.  What’s even better is the alliances that have been made with Highrock and Boston Trinity Academy.  Take a look & if interested, got for it.

  Trip Description:
  This is the first service-learning trip that will bring selected Boston
  Trinity Academy students and faculty members, and chaperons and
  volunteers from Highrock Covenant Church of Brookline to Nepal to work
  on community development projects in partnership with HOPE Initiative
  Nepal, a local Nepali non-governmental organization.

  The community development projects consist of four parts: gathering
  footage and research to create an educational video documentary about
  Nepal, supporting a HOPE operated orphanage (HOPE House) in the capital
  city of Kathmandu, setting up a second HOPE operated village computer
  education center in a remote farming village in Pokhara, and developing
  a cultural and language exchange program for local village schools. The
  trip is tentatively scheduled July 5 to July 25, 2008.

  A local Nepali family who operates HOPE and its orphanage will host the
  students, chaperons and volunteers. The group will spend the first part
  of the trip in Kathmandu, the capital city, working with orphans and
  the last part of the trip in a farming community of Pokhara working on
  other service and development projects.
