There’s a lot to be said about us westerners coming to Pakistan to climb,ride,fly - but what about integration? How can one truly touch these mountains without first finding friends in its people.
We are so greedy and selfish in the west. We do not give to beggars our spare change yet we throw it away into slot machines. 
Every season we need a new jacket or shoe. Then we chuck the old one out to go to landfill because it’s simper than sending to someone in need.
Look in your toy shed or garage. All this stuff we hold onto without purpose nor need.
Does it bring you joy to see 5 sets of skis knowing that somewhere out there is a child so desperate to learn that they’ll hand carve themselves a pair out of a fallen tree…
Ask yourself why you would only ‘sell’ it on rather than send - have you ever heard of magnetic energy? If not,look it up. It’s how the world turns. Literally. And it’s what creates one of the most magnificent phenomenas on earth - the Northern Lights. 
Try see the metaphor within.
It is our duty to take care of one another, to feed the good - not take all and become fat with gluttony and misery.
I have lost much in my life. But what it has taught me is how to appreciate what I have and that to share is much more meaningful and brings a deeper sense of peace than any selfish act can bring.
My Mum, my only sibling, the love of my life and the home we built.
But so what? I now have many brothers. My home is wherever I go and love is all around me.
The highlight of my trip so far was at the local school, playing with the little kids on the slackline @picaherry donated. Watching smiles, hearing the cries of joy almost brought me to tears. 
Such a simple thing, a strip of webbing and a ratchet that can change someone’s life, bringing hours of entertainment, creativity, health and joy to all.
Try giving a little today.
That beer you were going for later - just 5 bucks right? That’s worth over 1000 Pakistani rupees - and that could provide food for almost a week for some poor child!
Next time you go on your fancy trip - how’s about chucking in a slackline to give to a local community at the other end.
It’ll be worth your while, I promise.
