So many of us wish we could help those who really need help. Now you can. You are invited.
Come with Maurine and Scot Proctor on a CHOICE Humanitarian expedition to Nepal, Nov. 4 – 12. This includes stops in Kathmandu, Kurintar, and Lamjung. The trip will be directly involved in the post-earthquake reconstruction in Lamjung, Nepal (7 hours from Kathmandu.)
Nestled between China and India in southern Asia, Nepal boasts the greatest altitude variation on earth. From sea-level lowlands to towering Himalayan peaks, this charming nation attracts world travelers with its majestic landscapes, vibrant traditions, and warm embraces from the natives.
But while the setting is unforgettable, what will stay with you forever is the memory that you helped significantly change someone’s life.

I would really love to participate in this volunteer opportunity, however, I know that budget & vacation time, I am already over committed for this year. Is this an annual service trip? I would love to start making plans now to be able to help in 2017 if there will be a follow up opportunity of any kind.
