Fundraise. Travel with Purpose. This winter, I&rsquo;m partnering with Trek Relief on a purpose-driven journey to Nepal&mdash;and I&rsquo;d love for you to be part of it with me. Over 16 days, our team will combine hands-on volunteer work with an immersive trek through Lower Mustang&mdash;a breathtaking and culturally rich region of the Annapurnas shaped by centuries of Hindu and Tibetan influence. Before we begin our trek, we&rsquo;ll spend four days at Pema T&rsquo;sal Monastery, just outside Pokhara, responding to a request from Head Lama Tashi to expand access to health care for local children and families&mdash;including those from the nearby Tibetan refugee camp.<hr data-start="1081" data-end="1084" fr-original-style="" style="clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;"><h3 data-end="1117" data-start="1086" fr-original-style="" style="width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;">What This Campaign Supports</h3>At the monastery, we&rsquo;ll help renovate a small but vital health and dental clinic.
