The account not only explores the successes and failures of the volunteers in their efforts to have a positive effect on Nepalese development, but also the reverse effects of their transformative experience on the lives of the volunteers themselves. The narrative is further expanded as the author places the mission in the broader perspective of the globalization process that has so expanded our world in the past 50 years. A richly rewarding account for all with interests in globalization, social change, and transnational anthropology.
