You think your industry throws difficulties your way? Meet Karma Tenzing. He’s a social entrepreneur up against tremendous odds in Nepal.
Three of the world's major religions believe in Karma: Buddhism, Sikhism, and Hinduism. 81% of the population of Nepal practice Hinduism. 9% practice Buddhism. Those who believe in Karma think their past deeds determine their present circumstances and present deeds determine future outcomes. So when things go wrong, like a major earthquake that hit Kathmandu in 2015, there’s no accountability or ownership...no way forward. They just accept it.
That's when Karma decided it was time to leave a successful life in New York City and go home to help. This is a story of incredible drive, patience, and kindness.
