COMMUNITY SERVICE

Helping Hands was established by Mr. Narayan Shrestha, a businessman from Boulder, Colorado.  Mr. Shrestha is a native Nepali who migrated to the United States in the mid-1970’s and gradually started a number of small businesses.  As his success grew, he became inspired to give something back to the people of his home village of Khandbari in eastern Nepal.

In 1986, Mr. Shrestha decided to make a trip to his home town of Khandbari. He had arranged a trek for interested Americans who would go on a vacation during his trip. Several doctors and nurses happened to be vacationing on the trek. On the way the team ran into a child along the trail with a stick penetrating his chin and coming out of his mouth. It had been there for seven days and no one could remove it because his face was so infected and swollen. The doctors spent a night there, removed the stick, stitched and treated the wound. This gave the impetus for the seeds of Helping Hands to be sown. Mr. Shrestha thought of organizing treks for western medical volunteers who would help out in the villages while in Nepal and also enjoy a trek in the Himalayas. Thus, the motto of the organization was set as: “you give something to our village people and in exchange we will arrange you to trek and tour this beautiful country”.
