Mirjam Schenk (administration)
During my gap year, I spent three fantastic months in Nepal in the spring of 2019. For a little over two months, I worked for Hope is life Nepal, where I gave flute and guitar lessons. Also, we started a project to make it possible for the local people to work for a regular salary. They now make glass coasters out of garbage that we sell in Switzerland. I soon knew that I wanted to work for Hope is life in the long term. The work is sustainable because the team of Hope is life Nepal consists mainly of local employees. Capacity building is our priority. I am happy that I get to keep supporting the project as well as my friends in Nepal with my administrative work. I just became fond of Nepal and the whole Hope is life Nepal team.
