In partnership with First Love International, SCS will venture to one of the most beautiful, but one of the poorest, countries on earth.

In addition to exploring and serving in Kathmandu, we ll work in villages far from the beaten path. We won t be climbing mountains, however, so the physical demands are more in line with painting, building, playing, and sharing.
