	Cultural exchange

The International Children’s Peace Exchange Program provides Youth from around the world with the opportunities needed to broaden their global view, to establish friendships that deepen their understanding of human nature and to cultivate a spirit of international peace, compassion & cooperation...... all of which empowers them to become future peacemaking leaders focused on the whole of Humanity.

The Children come in the summertime to Austin, Texas as guests of the Amala Foundation from remote and urban villages in developing countries and gather with local youth here in Austin to create an environment of enriching, heart-centered, community-building experiences.

The Chhetri Sisters: Empowered Women

Lucky, Dicky and Nicky Chhetri, three Nepalese sisters are pioneers in the field of female trekking guides. Since 1994, they have worked towards empowering women in Nepal. By trekking with these amazing women, you help new women guides to be trained and find a way to make a living.

NEPAL

Rural Treks... “A taste of the real Nepal”A rural trek allows the opportunity for close contact with the indigenous people of Nepal. We visit quiet, peaceful villages in the Annapurna region filled with magnificent natural beauty. Accommodation is in the village homes and we can enjoy local family meals. These treks do not reach high altitude but traverse through the hill regions of Pokhara Valley.

Everest: Mother Goddess of the World.
Magnificent mountain peaks, warm Sherpa hospitality, and feelings of accomplishment await the adventurer exploring the Everest area. The trek holds a variety of routes, which can be tailored to suit your schedule. Your adventure can last anywhere from a week up to a month.
