I am very happy to share our story about H20himal2002. I was born and raised in the foothills of the Himalayas. As a youth, I spent my days climbing its hills and mountains. I have a profound understanding of its people, who are deeply rooted in my life work. My family has been involved in social work and welfare services for 34 years, building schools, caring for orphans, the destitute and the impoverished people of the Himalayas. Throughout the years, we worked with the people of the villages in the neglected, remote regions of the mountains. Always, we brought the message of awareness, cleanliness, good health habits and motivation to take pride in our heritage. As a young adult, I opened and managed a primary school in Singtam, Sikkim. I continued to work with young people in and outside of school, creating and managing youth programs in the local villages. I also participated in aid and rescue efforts during natural disasters caused by flood and landslides, a continual threat in the Himalayan region. I realized early that my friends and family assumed me to be a leader. My approach to the role thrust upon me was to find new and innovative solutions to the challenges we met. H20himal200s will bring the same spirit of caring with a new format to share with mountain regions, melding tradition with innovation, bridging the gap between the new and the old ways.
