Student presents photos from Nepal trek

Sisters High School senior Jordan Beck will present a slide show from the school's recent trek to Nepal on Wednesday, October 23, from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. at Sisters Athletic Club.

Due partly to Beck's age, he was allowed into areas that are typically restricted. Beck is an accomplished photographer, whose work has appeared in The Nugget.

Some of his photographs accompanied stories by Rongi Yost on the Nepal trek in the September 18 issue of The Nugget.

Beck described the trip as a life-changing experience.

"These people were some of the poorest in the world, and yet they were all so happy," he said. "In our eyes it seemed they had next to nothing, but yet they were always smiling and happy."
