“These bright-eyed kids in Nepal have so much to offer, but little chance to make an endeavour.”

“We are their opportunity, their hope for change.”

“They have a vision and though we can’t change the direction of the wind, we can try to put them on the best possible journey of change.”

“So, at the end of it all, we can look back at those trails of layers and smile – the results matter but not as much as the distance travelled to arrive at the destination. That’s what I would want to experience. Being able to witness the change is good, but being a part of that change, is priceless.

The magic of Nepal is always love. I’ll see you again next year, because you never fail to remind me to stop, breathe and live.”

PROJECT//PILOT would like to launch this project by welcoming past participants of SIM Global Citizenship Initiative – Nepal to share your experiences, stories, pictures, basically anything that have impacted, affected and moved you during your 10-day stint in Nepal. This trip wouldn’t have been made possible and made this far without every single one of your effort and hardwork.

Your contributions will be featured and credited.

SUSTAINABILITY

PERCEIVED EXPECTATIONS VS. REALITY

Armed with a passion for kids and a determination to touch hearts and change minds, I embarked on this journey with 19 other people all with varying purposes and objective but with one common intention in mind. To do good and to give back...

IMAGES & NARRATIVE BY NICHOLAS // GCI TRIP 3, JUN 2012

With the great power and ability to in!uence, touch hearts and changes minds, comes the weight of responsibility and obligation.

A responsibility to the kids, a responsibility to one self.

I saw kids who immediately, when the gong rang for recess, run to the preschool class to make sure their younger brothers or sisters were alright, had eaten, and helped them put on their shoes so they could join them in the sun.

They may have little and life may be physically tough, but they are genuinely happy, carefree almost.

All the moments of laughter, unimaginable times of sincerity and happiness will only live on as memories and tears in my heart and mind, eternal.

I leave with a gratitude unable to be described, for the lessons they taught me, countless and invaluable.
