Join Our Founder Leo Lourdes in Volunteering Teaching Orphans in The Himalayas

 

Help Us Raise Donations on Go Fund Me Page To Build Orphans a Home 

Expedition Group
We selected a small group of our clients Dr Usha Rout, Elie Pippard-Kemp, Celine Vadam, Sara Seddigh, Fozia Iqbal, Sophie Chesser and Elizabeth Soar to join our Founder Leo Lourdes to volunteer on an expedition this September to help share their wisdom and teach young Nepalese orphans. Both the orphanage and school are run by Leo's close friend of and prolific author Juliette Cunliffe with her Nepalese husband. The trip is with our amazing clients ranging from psychologists to teachers to look after the post-earthquake orphans and abandoned children in Pokhara, Nepal. To give them some absolute love and help them dream a wonderful, worthwhile future and also helping them release the trauma of the loss and suffering. We are helping to raise the vital funding to build them a permanent home and sustainable farm so they can be self-sufficient.

 

See more about the project www.gofundme.com/land-for-hostel-in-nepal If you can help in any way that would be great, whether you have old books, children's clothes or donations. If you would like to send things please contact Juliette to arrange.

During his travels in preparing for climbing Mount Everest, Leo spent some time here living and teaching the children yoga who had lost their parents and family through the terrible earthquake that hit the region and children abandoned through poverty. 

Give Back 
If you are interested in coming on the next trip in Autumn 2021, you will have a chance to spend some time learning some yoga, mindfulness and plenty of time to discover and explore. You will also be happy to roll up your sleeves and clear plant foliage and play with lazy puppies in the sun while drinking chai. It will be an unstructured trip and plenty of time to rest too.

Flights and Accommodation
You will be required to cover the cost of your own flights, visa, accommodation and subsistence which is inexpensive. Leo will also be volunteering and so all yoga classes and motivational talks will be at no fee.

This trip is not a yoga retreat in some far luxurious place that you may have been accustomed to from our retreats. While creature comforts will be more in ashram standards during this trip, yet nevertheless is stunning in natural beauty.

It will be for between 7-10 days and you will get some time to do trekking with Leo and his personal Sherpa mountain trekking guide Lalu who incidentally looks like a Nepalese Harry Potter :) Which is fitting as this trip will be magical.
