A Program of The Mountain Fund
From Our Volunteers | 4 April 2012
A high school group from Canada joined us this month for a work project on the women's cooperative farm project. This hard working group of kids first spent months fundraising at home in order to make a significant financial contribution that enabled us to purchase the land to start this farming project. Next, they traveled from Canada to Nepal and spent a week doing hard labor out at the farm site to help repair the existing house, add a room on to the house and prepare some of the land for crops. What an inspiration to young volunteers everywhere.

Rocky Vista Medical College, from Parker, Colorado paid a visit to The Mountain Volunteer this month. A group of nine, third and foruth year students and their professors gave complete physical exams to all 140 children at OGN, a day-care center, over the course of two days. With one or two exceptions, the children were in good health.
Following our outing to Orchid Garden, the team from Rocky Vista went to Koseli School and gave all 104 children there the same comprehensive medical evaluations. With one or two exceptions, the children of Koseli were also in good health. The few who have some medical needs will be referred to a hospital in Kathmandu.
Finally, we took this intrepid group to Kumari Village in the Nuwokot District where we held a two day medical camp for the village during which we gave care to well over 300 patients. Kudo's to the Rocky Vista team for all their hard work and help in Nepal.
