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

Rating: 5 stars  

I went to Nepal to work with the Mountain Fund with a class of about 30 students, and the experience was far beyond what I expected. Scott and Sunita are kind, genuine people, and did a great job in informing us as to exactly what kind of impact we were making with our work in the community. By staying in the village we were able to interact with the women and kids who were going to be living in the structure we were building, making our efforts feel personal and rewarding. The whole setup was extremely well organized, from the worksite to mealtimes, and this made it easy to feel comfortable in the routine and much less homesick for western amenities. The village was very welcoming to our presence, and the kids were absolutely adorable to play with! Everything about the experience was fun, challenging and moving.
