MeaningfulTrips partners with Empowering Women of Nepal (EWN).
EWN along with 3 Sisters Trekking trains disadvantaged rural women of Nepal to be female trekking guides – the first of their kind!
Nepal is 70% rural. In rural western Nepal the literacy rate for women is 7%. By offering education and skilled training in guiding adventure trekking, a male-dominated field in Nepal, EWN wants to encourage the development of self-supporting, independent and decisive women. Female trainees go through an intensive four-week program with a curriculum that includes conversational English; first aid; the history, geography and culture of Nepal; leadership skills; women's rights; trekking instruction; health and hygiene; and waste management. This is followed by a five-month paid apprenticeship program. Further, EWN focuses on mobile training and rural community development in West Nepal through eco-tourism. A mobile team from EWN travels to remote areas of Nepal to provide intensive training in health, leadership, hygiene and sanitation, food hygiene and women's health issues. EWN has also established a home for girls who've been rescued from child labor and exploitation. The girls are provided with food, shelter, education and support from all over Nepal.

Please note I wasn't laughing AT her, it's just that two seconds -- no, literally, TWO SECONDS -- prior, she was smiling at PhotoBooth, like she always does. And then, very suddenly, she reverted to THIS. But it's pretty accurate nonetheless, because that's all she did all day. ALLLL DAYYYYYYY.

Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
From Cross Creek we headed back to Jacksonville. We stopped briefly at Green Cove Springs, just south of the city, on the St Johns River.
The area was first inhabited over 7,000 years ago by natives drawn by the warm mineral spring. The spring, locally known as the "Original Fountain of Youth", attracted guests in the 19th century; there were more than a dozen hotels near the spring. Today the sulfur-scented spring water feeds an adjacent public swimming pool before flowing the short distance to the St. Johns River.
One of the four turbofan engines of a C-5 Galaxy. Amazing machines, even the slightest of breezes is causing it to rotate. Another interesting thing is the sound of the blades "tinkling" as they slowly rotate as well as when you look through them you see lots of daylight. Interesting patterns though
