You can’t work alongside Linda Cruse without being touched by her endless compassion, generosity and sheer humanity. She’s a leader and a problem solver who inspires everyone around her ……. Oh, and she’s also a real laugh! One extraordinary lady. www.lindacruse.com . . . . , . . , . . . #lindacruse @frontlinelinda #humanitarian #humanitarianwork #lindacruse #seeachangehub #volunteer #volunteerabroad #volunteertrip #travel #traveldeeper #mytinyatlas #portraits_ig #shetravels #sheisnotlost #dametraveler #shareyourstamp #guardiantravelsnaps #letsgoeverywhere #lifewelltravelled #tv_travel #nepalphotoproject A photo posted by Penny (@madreonthemove) on Mar 26, 2016 at 12:33am PDT “Safe travels.” . Our journey to the mountains was blessed by Buddhist monks in a private Puja ceremony this morning. #Buddhists #buddhism #puja #kathmandu #nepal #nepalese #nepalnow #nepaltrip #humanitarianwork #humanitarianwork @frontlinelinda #seeachangehub #madreonthemove #traveldeeper #travel_withme #travelphotography #lifewelltravelled #letsgoeverywhere A photo posted by Penny (@madreonthemove) on Mar 13, 2016 at 11:46pm PDT “We’re best friends. And we’re both called Santi!” . These bright girls translated a little for us. “She’s very poor” they said of Laxti. They have nothing themselves and all live in a camp in Kathmandu following the earthquake, but perceived Laxti’s situation to be tougher. . I ending up in the local supermarkets buying them both new shoes. Probably one of the most joyful purchases I’ve ever made. . . . . . . . . . . . #nepal #nepalphotoproject #nepalearthquake #seeachangehub #travelphotography #travel_withme @frontlinelinda #humanitarian #humanitarianwork #worldtravel #worldtraveller #wandaidofficial #lifewelltravelled #letsgoeverywhere A photo posted by Penny (@madreonthemove) on Mar 13, 2016 at 8:00pm PDT I’m in Nepal with @frontlinelinda who has been a humanitarian aid worker for 15 years. Watching her in action is fascinating. She is full of compassion & purpose. “How can we help you earn money?” is what she asks. Her expertise is helping people whose livelihoods & homes have been destroyed by natural disaster – in this case two earthquakes. www.lindacruse.com . . . . . . . @seeachange #traveldeeper #worldtravel #worldtraveller #sheisnotlost @wandaidofficial #nepal #kathmandu #nepalese #ig_nepal #nepaltrip #nepal_love #igers_nepal #igers_nepali @valentinanessi @pippasmalljewellery #seeachangehub #lovetheworld #ladiesgoneglobal #PPLocalLife #nepalphotoproject A photo posted by Penny (@madreonthemove) on Mar 13, 2016 at 1:40am PST “Where are you from?” These schoolchildren ask. “How old are you?” “What is your name?” . Families consider themselves so lucky & privileged if they afford to send their children to school. Even the school state system costs money and if you can’t pay you’re out. @frontlinelinda won’t pay for a child’s education but she will help a family to earn a living so they are able to pay for it. It’s a hand up not a hand out. . . . . . . . . . #nepal #nepalese #nepalnow #nepaltrip #portraits_ig #humanitarian #humanitarianwork #worldtravel #traveldeeper #travel_withme #travelphotography #seeachangehub @frontlinelinda #Nepalphotoproject #lifewelltravelled #PPLocalLife A photo posted by Penny (@madreonthemove) on Mar 13, 2016 at 10:22am PDT Morning all!

And I can see why…. she never stops! Linda is an incredible human being who brings joy and hope to ‘forgotten families’ around the world. Her book ‘Marmalade to Machine Guns’ talks about her 15 years on the frontline but seeing her in action is something else. . . . . . . . . @frontlinelinda #lindacruse #passionpassport #madreonthemove #nepalese #nepal #nepalnow #nepal2016 #nepalgram #humanitarian #humanitarianwork #himalaya #himalayas #travel #traveler #wearetravelgirls #globalgirl #travelgirl #bbctravel #exploretheworld #travelphotography #wanderlust #passionpassport #ladiesgoneglobal @ladiesgoneglobal #she_explores #myGHT #lifewelltravelled #letsgoeverywhere A photo posted by Penny (@madreonthemove) on Mar 19, 2016 at 5:49am PDT Every colour and symbol on the face of a Sadhu means something They dedicate their lives to meditation & religion & are highly regarding in Hindu society.
