Service in Nepal

Hello!

My name is Mariama Lemon and I am a sophomore at the White Mountain School. As a low-income student from the Bronx, it is a privilege to be apart of such a loving and supportive environment. 

With the help of my school, I have been recently accepted to go on a cultural and service learning trip to Nepal this summer with an organization called Global Routes. Global Routes is a non-government organization that allows students to immerse themselves in small rural communities around the world as they build schools and help.

With these funds, I will be able to engage in a small community through a homestay program as I volunteer. I am so excited to have this opportunity because I want to be able to experience what is out there. There is so much in the world that I have read about, but, I want to be apart of the advanture.
