Volunteer Stories
Proud to have led this fine group of 8 dedicated volunteers to Udaipur, India to work with restorationworksinternational on the restoration of a centuries old Haveli, repurposing it into a community and heritage center that supports migrant woman laborers and will provide a place to make and sell traditional Rajasthani arts and crafts made and sourced locally. Here we are on day one, along with our construction supervisor, taking a much needed break on the front stoop of the Bichli Haveli, Udaipur, India. #preservation #historicpreservation #restoration #historicpreservation #india #udaipur #restorationworksinternational #communitydevelopment #bichlihaveliproject #internationaldevelopment #globalheritage #oneworld #rwivolunteerstories #volunteer #volunteervacations #ngo #nonprofit #philanthropy #dogood #socialgood #giveback #payitforward #karma

I’d like to share some sad news, especially for my friends who have been with me on one of the many trips I’ve led to the Himalayan mountains of Nepal, with restorationworksinternational , to work on the restoration of the century’s old Tibetan Buddhist monastery of Chairro gompa.
The beautiful neighboring village of Tukche was recently devastated by unprecedented monsoon rains. This picture shows Lama Sashi and myself in front of Sashi’s ancestral home in Tukche, several years ago.
If you would like to learn more and contribute to the rebuilding efforts see the GoFundMe link in my bio.
Namaste friends! #chhairogompa #tukche #nepal #himalayas #gofundme #tibetanbuddhist #mustangnepal #mustangregion
Into the Himalayas: "There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit." -Ansel Adams. #restorationworksinternational #rwi #nepal #chhairogompa #chhairo #givepeaceachance #imagine #DKTM

What a great first day in India (Delhi). Found some trees 🙂 #everydayadventures #restorationworksinternational #indiatravel #delhigram #amwriting
High of 88, they said (But feels like 104, they said). You win, humidity. You win. #everydayadventures #restorationworksinternational #indiatravel #humidityisreal #humidity #whatcanisay #redfort #incredibleindia #amwriting #thisislife #worldheritage #researching #researchtrip
India Day 2. Hotter and more humid than yesterday. Explored a fort and an Old Delhi bazaar. I like my sun hat a lot. When I write about humid heat in my books, it will be very authentically researched now. #everydayadventures #indiatravel #amwriting #sweaty #restorationworksinternational
