Go Forth to Serve in Nepal: BYU Students Research Human Impact of Air Pollution
As part of BYU's Inspiring Learning Initiative, students from three BYU colleges traveled to Nepal to document how air pollution is impacting the health of workers. This 60-second BYU institutional message, produced for broadcast during BYU games, features this important, life-changing project.
An interdisciplinary research team from BYU included public health, cell biology, nursing and engineering students, who are working with local Nepali leadership, as well as colleagues from the University of Utah, Kathmandu University and the Karnali Academy of Health Sciences.
"You can change the lives of other people for the better, if you're just willing to use the gifts and experiences, which God has blessed you with. My education, the ways in which I try to treat people,
it matters, and it has ripple effects, even 8,000 miles away in Nepal," says Symbria Lewis, a BYU nursing student.
