The Imaginative Traveller’s ‘Village Build and Mountain Trek’ Programme (Group 2) November 4 to 12, 2006  The second group was involved in the second phase of the security wall at the same location and project site in Chapagaun village. After completion of the wall the community health centre looked much nicer and safer. The second group was also placed with Nepali host families where they had dinner with their hosts. In this group most of the participants were involved in bricklaying, laying of stones and also mixing sand and cement. All participants worked physically on a daily basis for five to six hours. In their leisure time volunteers went exploring beautiful villages, temples, monasteries and heritage sites. They also participated in cultural and musical ceremonies with local groups. For fun volunteer groups played football and other outdoor activities with school children at local schools. It was a great experience for the volunteers to give some toys, pencils and educational kits to local children, and these items the volunteers brought with them. News of this was also highlighted in a popular Nepali TV channel ‘Kantipur TV'.
