The Mystique of Manang

Not long ago I dug up some old audio I took of a brief interview I did with the owner of a guesthouse in Manang, Nepal. I initially was wanting to try to submit a piece in some way to PRI's "The World". They are a great resource to hear some amazing news stories from around the globe via the avenue of public radio. While I didn't end up using this audio for them, I decided to finally put something together. It's an amalgamation of snippets of the short interview, pictures I took on the last Nepal trip, and music. The song in this video is "Complex Heaven" by Brian Eno. The mood of the song - as well as the title! - is incredibly fitting. I hope you guys enjoy it! If you can, please click the link above to donate to my fundraiser for the Snow Leopard Trust!

Hey guys!
With the devastation in Nepal with the recent earthquake, I wanted to share an organization that I am working to support. A friend of mine is working with the Cloudbase Foundation and the donation page is here - http://thecloudbasefoundation.org/site/donate/
They are a group of paragliders that also work to help the people of Nepal in many other ways. This group was one of - if not THE - first group to get to the remote area just north of Gorkha, which is close to the epicenter of the quake. Watch the video below to understand the level of devastation they are facing.
Please give what you can! Again, to donate - http://thecloudbasefoundation.org/site/donate/
