A Good Return Field Ambassador trip to Nepal in photos
Feb 10
Anthony returned from his 27 day trip to Nepal just before the new year, and he has spent his time since downloading all of his information (and photos) for us to use. We found time recently to sit down together and go through all of his photos. Here are few of the highlights, with more photos below that you can click on to make larger.
While most of the other Good Return and World Education Australia staff members have travelled in the developing world and/or the countries we work in, I have yet to. It’s been fascinating for me to hear and see Anthony’s stories, and of course the others that filter through our blog (and office). We actually have Nepalese prayer flags hanging over one of our main doorways, sent by Monique when she was there for an energy needs assessment.
Anthony’s time in Nepal has been well-documented in the blog. Click here to read more about his trip in Nepal.
Here are some highlight photos, with more as you scroll down.

Thanks for the insight, Anthony.
Really appreciate seeing the challenges faced in Nepal through photos of real life.
Cute dog!

thanks anthony. you have inspired me to travel to one of the areas that good return works in. i would love to meet a couple of the borrowers we have lent to. thanks
Hi Bonnie, we’re very glad that you’re interested in travelling to one of the countries where we work. It isn’t always possible for members of the public to visit our borrowers, as there are some security and privacy risks involved. However, if you’re interested in volunteering with us then something could be arranged! Get in touch with our office for more info: emailus@goodreturn.org
