The Team

Everest Build, Leknath, Nepal – 2010. I was a member of a Canadian Habitat for Humanity Global Village team that arrived in Nepal a week ahead of the Everest blitz build to assist the local volunteers in getting ready for the actual build. We spent the week splitting and pealing bamboo and learning the various building techniques. For the blitz build we were designated as House Leaders and assigned to a number of teams to assist and guide them in the building process.
