Volunteer Spotlight:
Eric Socia + Matt McKown
Eric and Matt traveled rocky roads, stacked bricks, made friends, and made a difference!
Then they came home and orchestrated an incredible donation from their employer at AUDI. Now, they are organizing another volunteer building trip with us in early 2017 here and are fundraising for that here!
In their words....
"The entire trip was an eye opening experience. Not only were we able to see the destruction first-hand, but we were also able to see the early stages of the rebuilding process.
Perhaps even more significant was the fact that we were able to truly connect with locals in a way I don't believe the average tourist could.
The appreciation the Nepali people had for us lending a hand and the respect we have for them is difficult to put into words. I am extremely thankful that Eric and I were able to work together with Kids of Kathmandu and the entire village of Sarsyukharkha Chukha to make a difference in the children's education and their future. It was the most rewarding adventure I have ever been on."
Don't forget, early bird tickets until October 20th!
