Most of you already know that Caring For The World Films is back in Nepal to continue the story of Himalayan HealthCare. HHC is a Nepalese operated NGO which serves the rural poor in the Dhading region. I produced a short trailer for the documentary Hearts In The Himalayas. The film is to scheduled for release in the fall of this year.
The trek begins Tuesday, April 3rd with a team of 15 international medical volunteers who will return to the rural villages of the Ganesh Himal region of the Himalayas. I plan to shoot follow-up stories with the blacksmith teacher, the village veterinarian, Bin Maya the healthcare worker from Tipling, Pema, the dental healthcare worker, and new HHC field coordinator, Sapta Ghali, who is playing double duty as my camera assistant and Sherpa. You may remember him from last year's shoot. Sapta's assistance was priceless! So I tapped him to help out this year as well as our sound girl (boom boom) Situ Parajuli. Sapta has been very busy coordinating our shot schedule during the trek. I swear, if I could hire this guy to work for me, he would be booked for the next assignment in a New York minute.
