I was fortunate enough to go to India and trek some of the Himilayan mountains. We were also accompanied by some students of our twinned school and were able, through them, to talk to some of the villagers nearby where we were camped. A couple of the women told us they only see their husbands and sons about 2-3 times a year as they worked in the nearest city which was so far away they wouldn't have time to go home and see their families on their days off. It was very sad to hear, and so I really hope he's able to raise enough money to help families stay together and just work off the land. It's also such a beautiful place, I'm very jealous he get's to travel across the entire range. :) This is great. I was fortunate enough to go to India and trek some of the Himilayan mountains.
