The first Latrobe group visited Nepal in 2007 and groups have returned every year since then. They work in the local community and have had a large impact on the local community.
One local school has a new tank supplying water to the toilet and a photocopier all donated by Latrobe students.
As well as a short trek in the Annapurna region the recent groups have also visited Chitwan National Park

| Another donation of jackets. This is a wonderful gift as the children can wear them to school. |
 |
| The first group stayed in the Tharlam Monastry Guest House |
 |
| The lunch with the Rotaract students was an interesting experience |
 |
| All groups have trekked to Poon Hill |

 |
| A donation of $200 helped install a small hand basin and water tank so the children can wash their hands after going to the toilet. We had to spend time teaching the young children how to use the basin. |
