Review for The Global Mountain Fund Inc, Albuquerque, NM, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I volunteered with The Mountain Fund in 2011 for four weeks at Helping Hands Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal. It was such an amazing opportunity! I was able to observe various medical departments such as emergency room, obstetrics/gynecology, radiology, surgery and pathology. The doctors spoke English and discussed the procedures, diagnosis and treatment options. On the weekends, the Nepalese girls who lived with us gave us so many different options on what to do. Our group went to Nagarkot (a village in the mountains) and spend the night at a small hotel/house to wake up before the sunset and see Mt. Everest. I also took dance lessons after volunteering twice a week to learn Bharat Natyum (an Indian dance style). Scott and Sunita were very accommodating and are very passionate about their non-profit organization.
