German Volunteer Teacher Finds Stark Contrasts and Unique Joy in Remote Nepali Village Life

Germany. The highly developed society of Europe versus the difficult life in a remote Himalayan district of Nepal. 25-year-old Cena Eder is gathering beautiful experiences comparing these two worlds. Cena, working as a volunteer teacher at a school in Chachalung village of Solukhumbu, finds the lifestyle there uniquely striking.

Born in Salzburg, Austria, and raised in the German city of Bayern, Cena never imagined she would end up in a remote Himalayan village in Solukhumbu, Nepal. However, when an adventurous travel idea suddenly struck her mind, it led her towards Nepal. On her first visit, she traveled to Kathmandu and Poon Hill. That two-week journey further awakened her fascination with Nepal, leading her to choose Nepal again for practical voluntary practice as part of her studies. And so, she arrived in Chachalung village.
