Friends of Sermathang - Helping support the Yangrima Boarding School, Sermathang, Helambu, Nepal

Volunteer Information > A Volunteer’s Experience

Ann Hemmington in SermathangFor the past month, I have been touring through Nepal as tourist. Trekking through the annapurnas and to the Everest base camp, I have been walking the streets of Katmandu and bargaining in the shops. In all this I realized just how grateful I am to have experienced life in sermathang. This winter, in the three months I spent working in yangrima and with the HWDA, I was genuinely able to experience the nepali culture firsthand; blessed with the opportunity to become a part of the lifestyle and I know uphold the greatest respect for the people of Nepal, the Hyolmo people especially.

The people of Sermathang and the members of the Yangrima School not only felt grateful for my help in improving their English, but I felt grateful for what they gave to me. Together we shared culturally different lifestyle and new friendships. I worked with a wonderful group of women, whom I will miss tremendously, and who each takes two hours out of her busy day to learn English and earn an education’s saw a motivation in all people to become the best they can be, which, in turn, motivated me. It is rewarding to feel that I played a role in their lives and it is motivating to see the eagerness in their hearts. Thank you to the teachers and children of Yangrima and thank you to all the women of HWDA you have given more than you know!
