Hi everyone-I hope you're all having a great weekend. I was able to talk with Tejanath today and he provided me with an update on the status of the project.
The District Development Committee has not met yet. Tejanath recently was able to talk to one of the key people from the committee who reported they plan to meet soon, but a date has not yet been set. Due to the recent protests at the college, they had been doing some work around the issues that sparked the protests. Tejanath reports that the former college committee has resigned and that they hope to form a new one.

That's great information Carolyn. Maybe Andrew could help with a story about trekking through the region since he's done it several times.
Andrew do you think that would be something we could piece together based on your experiences?

Research and Identify Volunteer Organizations

Many people who travel to Nepal to volunteer also go trekking. For this task, we would like to research and again develop a database of volunteer organizations who place volunteers in Nepal many times to help in the schools. This research will be used to reach out and establish relationships with organizations who may be interested in learning more about the Sankhuwasabha district and all it has to offer those who come to visit.

A large part of our project will revolve around marketing all that the Sankhuwasabha district has to offer. For this task, we are looking for volunteers to help us research and develop a database of trekking agencies located in Kathmandu and also around the world.

Tejanath sent me the following document to answer the questions that I posed. He provides a lot of useful information on the local situation.

Shaun and Carol Halbert wrote up this fantastic piece on their experience trekking in Nepal. I wanted to post it here for everyone to see because I felt it was particularly relevant to this task.
Thank you to Shaun and Carol for the time and attention you put in to reflecting on your experience! This is really an invaluable tool.
All the best-
