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.
