Why the man went to Nepal

The man in the story provides a vivid description of his journey to Nepal. From the first paragraph of the story, the man gives the readers a clue as to what his journey entails. The man informs readers that he would be travelling to a far away country in the developing world, with the sole aim of taking part of the orphans, “I would be taking care of orphans in one of the poorest countries in the world.”  From the passionate description about this impending trip to Nepal, the reader gets to know that the man in the story is enthusiastic about his journey to Nepal, “I needed this volunteering stint to sound as challenging as possible to my friends and family back home. Apart from participating in the adventurous experience for fun, the man also wanted to please his friends and families with his personal account of his adventures.

From the story, the man also informs the readers that he had taken many trips round the world and the one to Nepal was just one of his many trips he had made. The second reason why the man wanted to take part in the Nepal adventure is that,  he was apparently bored with his eight years experience at East West institute and thus wanted to explore a different environment altogether.

While it is common knowledge that such a trip would cause anyone a fortune, surprisingly, the man decided to take part in the trip, regardless of the expenses involved. That the man is ready to spend all the cash he had saved while he was still working, is evident enough that he indeed had a passion for adventurous trips, “Spend my entire worth on a trip around the world”.

The man also lets the readers that he had some friends who loved partying but did not support the man’s decisions about the impending trip. However, the man is not discouraged by such utterances from his closest friends. Instead, he decides to ignore such advice and chose to follow his heart, “Who would begrudge my year of fun after doing something like that?” From this statement, we get to know that the man had a passion for any project that involves the orphans, and he would go to any lengths just to satisfy his passion. In fact, he states that he would stop any form of criticism that would come his way by making sure that he mentions the name “orphan”.

Although life in Nepal is not all that smooth, the man chose to undergo the experience that comes with such a trip regardless of the situation on the ground. The man even describes his experience at the maternity ward, where he has to endure the cold of nights in Nepal. Finally, the three months of his trip to Nepal come to an end, and he has no other option but to bid his friends goodbye. He recounts his experience as a volunteer at a children orphanage which he refers to as CERV. Although most children would want the volunteers to come back to Nepal after some time, the man inform us that such an experience is a one time affair, in this case three months of adventurous experience. However, unlike other volunteers, the man promises the eighteen orphans that he would go back to Nepal during the following year. His main reason for returning to Nepal is that, he felt that he had responsibility at hand’ Walking out on the responsibility was almost impossible”
