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
The sunsets/moonrises at St Christopher’s Mission were magnificent during the RWI board’s visit. Between hikes to the top of the mesa above the site (thank you for being our guide, Joe!) and moonrise photo shoots, we never missed a moment to enjoy the serenity and gloriousness of this historic place that has been serving the Navajo since the 1940s. We are glad to be part of its renewal.

The RWI board helped move the Mission’s large collection of books and some bookshelves from the old schoolhouse (soon to be food pantry and bunk house) into the historic Retreat House. A cozy result and now more accessible to everyone coming through the space. #RWIvolunteerstories #volunteervacation #volunteertourism #historicpreservation #historicrestoration #stchristophersmission #bluffutah

Helped the local women in the #BichliHaveliProject clear away some demo rubble in traditional #udaipur style...by #burro!
They`re called "flying foxes" here and every evening around 7pm they fly over the city of #Udaipur like an insect-eating river for more than 15 minutes. I`ve only seen two mosquitoes in five days.

ACT, day 12. Marpha to Larjung (2,560 m). Just south of Marpha another detour heads down the eastern bank from the Tibetan settlement around Chhairo Gompa to Chimang, which offers superb views of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), the world’s sixth largest mountain. Back on the west bank, Tukuche (2,580 m) is one of the valley’s most important Thakali villages and once was a depot and customs spot for salt traders from Tibet. Several grand houses and gompas hark back to a more prosperous past. The road continues to Khobang and Larjung, past good views of Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri North (7,061 m). Larjung is the base for an excursion up to the sacred Guru Sampo cave. #YOK_AsiaTrip #YOK_nepal #nepal #annapurna #annapurnacircuit #annapurnacircuittrek #marpha #larjung #chhairogompa #chimang #tukuche #khobang #dhaulagiri #nilgirinorth #voyadi #travelasia #backpacking #непал #аннапурна
