Home Stay
After orientation, students move in with their Nepali or Tibetan home stay families throughout Kathmandu.  The families all come from varied economic, religious, and ethnic backgrounds, and will provide students with their most enriching exposure to local culture and lifestyle.

“To hear the trials and triumphs, to understand the religion and culture from their point of view, to eat their amazing food and to learn their language is an experience that no book can explain, no words can describe.  I thank my host family from the bottom of my heart for their openness, hospitality, history, and for including me in their story."
- Leah, Tibetan Summer 2006
