…to Nepal and Serbia, that is!

A new Lafayette initiative is bringing international and domestic students even closer together with a program called BOMA.
Pairs of students, one international and one domestic, are invited to submit proposals outlining the types of activities they would participate in while staying with each other’s families during the summer or winter breaks for two to three weeks. The six students selected to participate are then awarded funding to cover roundtrip travel expenses as well as a small stipend. This all-expense paid trip expands the horizons of all participating members, and gives us an excuse to see our families after long absences.

This summer, two BOMA trips flew out to two very different places. Rijan Maharjan ’14, and Sarah Walko ’15 went to Rijan’s hometown, Kathmandu, for two weeks. You can check out their trip highlights here:

The second trip, which is still underway, was to Serbia with friends Eddie Andujar ’15 and Djordje Rakic ’15. You can follow them here:
