Hood River photographer Peter Marbach presents a public program about the humanitarian work of Nepali trekking guide Jagat Lama at Columbia Center for the Arts on July 18 at 7 p.m.

Lama will be joining Marbach in sharing stories about his life work to bring healthcare, education and sustainable work opportunities to the people of his home area in Kumari.

Marbach first met Lama while serving as a volunteer photographer for a documentary film project in Nepal in 2013, the start of a long-term connection to Nepal for Marbach and other members of the Hood River community.

“That journey changed my life,” said Marbach.
