Two such volunteers, Leigh Williams and her daughter Camille, help a Bhutanese refugee family from Nepal start over in Vermont. Some 110,000 Bhutanese refugees, most of whom fled ethnic cleansing in their homeland in the early 1990s, continue to languish in refugee camps in Nepal. Leigh shares her volunteering experience with USCRI.

Nepal is a place where a pervasive spiritual happiness exists despite the lack of material wealth. It is a way of being and a way of life I have never experienced anywhere else. I spent time there in college and again in 2005 when my daughter Camille was three. The Nepalese are poor but happy and always optimistic. They need very little and will give away anything they have without expectations. Everywhere I went in Nepal, I was met with unconditional hospitality from people who, by western standards, don’t have much to offer.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4EE8D6AE-8437-4F85-BA82-1500D4441D96/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
