trekking non-believers will backpack menstrual & education supplies to impoverished communities in Annapurna range to keep girls in school
PIEDMONT, CA, USA, July 14, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Atheist Republic Nepal (ARP) is guiding a hiking expedition of USA non-believers into rural Himalayan villages in March 2022. Loaded into their backpacks will be $1,500 worth of washable, reusable sanitary pads, plus school supplies (pens, notebooks, calculators) for the impoverished rural girls who are frequently deprived of education.
The USA “hiking heretics” are representatives of Humanist Global Charity (HGC), a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit. Eleven participants are already signed up, including the Executive Director, the Program Director, four major funders, and the Board President, Vice President, and Treasurer. At present, the Secretary still has 'cold feet.' The group's two celebrity Board members - Steven Pinker and Daniel Dennett - will probably also sit this one out.
