From Tech Executive to Education Champion: A Fateful Himalayan Trek
When Microsoft executive John Wood took a rare vacation to Nepal, he never expected it would completely transform his life. Trekking through the Himalayas with his guide Pasupathi, Wood visited a local school where he discovered a stark reality: 70 students crammed into spaces meant for 35, and a "library" that was merely an empty room with a few random books locked away from eager students. The headmaster's simple request-"Perhaps, sir, you will someday come back with books"-struck a deep chord. That evening, reading the Dalai Lama's "The Art of Happiness" by candlelight, Wood reflected on his privileged position and his own childhood love of reading. How could he ignore these children's hunger for knowledge? Before leaving Nepal, he sent an impassioned email to friends requesting book donations-a small act that would snowball beyond his wildest dreams. What if one simple "yes" could change not just your life but the lives of millions of children around the world?
