A Gift to the Himalayan Institute Cameroon

The HI Community Center received a beautiful gift of a traditional thatched-roof structure from the Fon of Nso, the paramount king of the entire region. The structure, called a bookuru, was built entirely of local materials, including raffia palm bamboo, elephant grass, and local ropes. It is now our favorite place to relax on a hot afternoon, and is the official PR room for all visiting guests.
