Angela Locke travelled to Nepal in the early 90's to research a new book, and found herself on a journey of discovery which would change her life. Meeting a Tibetan monk in the supermarket before she left, he told her that 'the book is not important, but the journey is'. She would find herself returning to Nepal, becoming immersed in the life of the country, and experiencing a deep spiritual awakening. Her experiences would lead to the founding of the charity Juniper Trust which now works in Education and Health with the poorest communities all over the world. The Foreword is by Sir Chris Bonington CBE, patron of the Juniper Trust.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
This is a book about an inner journey, not an adventure in a conventional sense, but a journey of discovery nonetheless, told against a background of the sublime beauty of the Himalayas and of the gentle people who inhabit the foothills of Nepal. (Sir Chris Bonington CBE, one of the world's leading mountaineers) With disarming honesty, Angela Locke has captured the rollercoaster of emotions that is a first visit to Nepal, the fears and fascination; for her the beginning of a journey of enlightenment, and a new mission. (Stephen Goodwin, Editor:The Alpine Journal)
