• The journey to Nepal started with getting to know the group and exploring the country’s customs, key sites, and traditions, focusing on school volunteering and giving.
We’re used to embarking on journeys for various reasons—be it a tourist trip, an adventure, or a volunteer mission. This time, however, the experience was uniquely enjoyable and entertaining, while still providing numerous benefits and a sense of happiness.
Last February, during the ten days leading up to Kuwait’s National Day, I participated in a trip to Nepal. Over the course of ten days, we traveled between three regions under the management and coordination of the SahabatAmal Voluntary Team. The journey included volunteering at schools and offering various forms of donations, such as educational supplies, medical check-ups, distributions, sweets, and toys to students in Chitwan, Kathmandu, and Pokhara.
In addition to the volunteer activities, the trip featured several events and activities for both the Nepalese people and the volunteer team, including various competitive contests and talent showcases.
The journey didn’t stop there—it was packed with adventures and experiences, from safaris and boat trips to mountain climbing and various adventure games.
The trip was comprehensive and diverse, leaving no room for boredom. It began with exploring and getting to know the group members, then moved on to understanding the country’s customs, key sites, and traditions, with a focus on school volunteering and various forms of giving.
The experience was enriched with entertaining activities and real-life experiences that matched the local environment, along with competitive contests and adventures. These ten days concluded with enjoyment, benefits, and a unique experience for each individual.
