Travel with Purpose - A Field Guide to Voluntourism Blumenfeld JeffPaperback softback
Imagine yourself in a schoolroom in one of the most remote regions of one of the most hard-to-reach countries on earth. Nepal. To reach it takes a 14-hour flight from New York to Doha, Qatar. The Lower Mustang region to be exact.
Transfer at one of the world's most dangerous airports to a 90-minute flight to Pokhara, followed by a jarring, eight-hour Jeep ride over a vertiginous dirt road - one side is a mountain wall, the other side a two-hundred foot cliff. Then four hours by air to Kathmandu. Finally you arrive, but it's not just any schoolroom.
It has been converted into an operating room so that doctors from New York Eye & Ear Infirmary can provide the gift of sight to 24 Nepalis who were blind due to advanced cataracts. Jeff Blumenfeld witnessed this first hand. He was there as a traveler, but also as a volunteer.
