Travel Kind: Hong Kong physiotherapists give back to local communities on their trip to Nepal

==========

Physiotherapists Gigi Fu Wing-chi and Sylvia Lee Wing-yi led injury prevention workshops for 15 young Nepalese women studying to become trekking guides during their week-long trip to Nepal. The young women are passionate about being trekking guides because they love the activity and want to introduce foreign travelers to the beauty of Nepal. The volunteer trip was organized by Rosina Shing Shuk-han's charity, Travel Kind, which aims to encourage Hongkongers to give back when they travel. Travel Kind worked with the Nepalese charity, 3 Summits for Nepal, to empower young women in rural areas to pursue their dreams of becoming trail guides. The trip was a unique blend of volunteering and tourism, allowing the physiotherapists to share their skills and learn about Nepalese culture. Rosina Shing started Travel Kind to promote giving back to local communities during travel.
