Climbing To New Heights With The Street Community

Louise, one of our International volunteers reflects on her trip to Nepal with WTMY

Being a volunteer for Welcome to my Yard was the first experience I had of Nepal and of volunteering work. I went out with no real expectations and just enjoyed rolling with it. My days were relaxed, with a schedule of stuff which gave me a  sample of the language, the people and their home life, the food, what the project was about and what the aspirations were of the Directors, but it was spending time with the street kids which was the most wonderful part of the trip….as you would expect!

The children who attended the English classes and climbing trips are the real inspiration. Each one of them with such unique personalities, some loud and energetic, some thoughtful and reserved, but all looking out for each other, intelligent, bright and living in the moment, which is something we should all try and do more often.  Whatever it is that brought these kids to the streets it hasn’t stopped their desire to learn and develop and being able to get involved in a project which taps into their talents was fantastic.
