| Dominant in the flat southern half of Nepal
is the Hindu culture whereas the northern Himalayan highlands and mountain
ranges are predominantly under the Tibetan Buddhist cultural influence. Kathmandu,
Nepal's capital, lies in the Kathmandu valley between these two regions, thus
comprising a historical melting pot of these two dominant as well as various
other local cultures. Its diverse pluralism is the fundamental charm of this
ancient capital of the Himalayan highlands. The Nepali children are finally joining the children's cultural exchange program by means of which the American and Japanese children can talk to them and find out how things in life can be so pleasantly different in other parts of the Asia Pacific region. First of all, we recommend that the same 'All About Me' format be used by the Nepali participants for the ease of multilingual translation. While those children from Katmandu are living in a much more urban and materially welted environment, the children living in the remote mountain villages who are expected to join us via satellite/Internet communication system this fall are much less fortunate in terms of material comfort, but do possess the most beautiful and pristine natural environment of the Himalayan Nepal. This rural segment of the program is going to be administered locally in Nepal by the Himalayan Light Foundation whose emblem at the upper left corner of this page is clickable for access to its home page. Those who want more information about this program should contact us in your own language at the Secretariat for the Children's Cultural Exchange Program. |
