Making Lives Better – Nepal Visit

Making Lives Better is club at Rollins College, Florida. This summer nine students and two faculty members are travelling to Nepal for a two week service trip focusing on health care and education. The trip is scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 12, 2010. We will have a team of 9 students and 2 faculty members. For this project, we will be collaborating with Sagarmatha Health Foundation, ANA and Teaching Hospital.

The ultimate objective of the club is to ease the suffering of those shackled in poverty and despair and improve the lives of people in Nepal. The focus of this year’s project is Doti.

We will conduct a health camp in Doti through which we plan to provide immediate health services to around 2,000 women, children, men, and adolescents. We also plan to provide educational materials, books and scholarship to the needy and deserving students. In addition to this, Rollins students will be helping building badminton courts, toilets and a library in the schools.

Through a ceaseless sense of duty, a strong will towards development along with social growth, a pursuit of leadership in a world of apathy, and the unselfish desire to ease the misery and relieve the pain of those desperate in need of assistance, we hope to make this project a huge success and a yearly project. For this we need your help. Help us help them!
