With heartfelt appreciation, we recognize the #ELEVT Foundation, its founder Diane Savard, and her dedicated team—Samantha Savard, Ashley Savard, Andrei Banea, and Nabita Thapa—for their generous sponsorship and collaboration with Soul Himalaya Treks and Tours. Your support has enabled us to provide school uniforms to the children in our village schools, motivating them to pursue their education with renewed enthusiasm.

We extend a special thanks to Ramesh Bskm, whose dedication in distributing these uniforms and jackets has brought joy and hope to many young students. Your efforts are invaluable, and your commitment to advancing education in these remote communities is deeply appreciated.

Your generosity is making a profound impact, inspiring others to contribute to the betterment of community schools and local residents in need. Once again, we express our sincere gratitude to the entire team for your unwavering support.

Tourism allows us to explore unexpected destinations, encounter new experiences, and delve into the unique way of life of people. Although we might eventually have to depart from our travel destinations, it is important to realize that there are communities that live there, whose lives can be impacted by our actions.

Keeping this in mind, we constantly work to bring a difference in the lives of the communities that we encounter on our journey.
