Rachel experiences global responsibility first hand in Napal
 GBS Student Leaders experienced the school’s
ethos of global responsibility firsthand during a unique community
engagement project in Nepal. The trip, which saw the students immersing
themselves in Nepalese culture before working with locals, helped
participants gain a deeper knowledge of their role in a global
environment.
For Rachel Perkins, this was her second cultural exchange with the Leaders and she was thrilled to be attending this year as a mentor. “I knew that I wanted to go on another trip as soon as I had gotten home from the first volunteer trip,” she says.
