Just an ordinary day; I am thinking of leaving the economic race and plunge myself into nature. Remembering two important nature outreach with like-hearted colleagues:

Volunteers’ Day Camp 2008 (World Wetlands Day)

Global Day of Climate Action marked: Let’s Hug our Himalayas
Date: 2009-12-12

Let's hug our Himalayas !!

WNSO Nepal’s members and some new and enthusiastic youth members hiked on 12th December 2009 to mark the global day of climate action. The message from this hiking program was multi-dimensional. Youth students made pledges to work for climate justice. they interacted and drafted action plan for the global slogan : Unite for Climate. Link between sustainable development and education and the trend of resource use and climate change was discussed by students of Nepal and Denmark.

Volunteer-members pursued the hiking route from Jhor-Mahankal (Kathmandu) through Shivapuri Nagarjun Naational Park to Suryachour (Nuakot); and vice-versa.
