Nate is participating in the Everest Roam cycling challenge. This event requires cyclists to climb over 10,000 meters in elevation within a short time. To encourage his efforts, members of the Global Voices community in Nepal created a Nepali-language playlist for him. This playlist serves as motivation during his challenging ride.
Global Voices has strong ties with Nepalese culture and works with local contributors to cover various topics. The organization has also partnered with The Nepali Times to enhance its reporting.
