Everest Build-II 2012

With the successful completion of EB I, Habitat for Humanity Nepal (HFH Nepal) is very much excited and looks forward in launching Everest Build II. Everest Build II is a six day program which will be held during the month of October (7^th-13^th October, 2012) in Panchkhal, Kavre. Over these six days, around 600 international volunteers and delegates will arrive in Nepal and come together in an effort to build a future where lives of 40 families will change for better. Everest Build 2012 will focus on building cost effective houses with the help of such international volunteers in Panchkhal, Kavre.

Additionally, every year HFH Nepal brings over 1,000 international volunteers who spend over 21 days in Nepal and help to build houses at different places and also do visit places in Nepal as part of their vacation.

Apart from promoting local housing technology through Everest Build 2012, Habitat for Humanity Nepal also seeks to highlight the native culture amidst the multi-national volunteers by organizing its opening ceremony at Bhaktapur Durbar Square which lies 13 km east of Kathmandu. While the complex consists of at least four distinct square (Durbar Square, Taumadhi Square, Dattatreya Square and Pottery Square), the whole area is informally known as the Bhakapur Durbar Square, and is a highly visited site in the Kathmandu Valley.

We highly appreciate the support from both national and international volunteers who have helped us to come a long way. Their support has helped us in multiplying the number of families we serve and bring smile on their faces.
