For almost a decade, Binod Shahi leaves the comfort and modern conveniences of his city, Kathmandu, and travels to the remote region of Dolpa, Nepal. It takes Binod eight days just to reach the area—still less time than the three to four months it takes for supplies to arrive. Binod’s goal is to empower the local population, and promote self-awareness about the importance of education and health care. Before establishing a school in 2009, he would walk five hours and cross hazardous mountains every weekend to teach the children. Binod lives half the year in Dolpa; watch to find out what he does with the remaining six months.
