Transcripts
a few months ago at the very top of a
9,000 ft mountain in a remote part of
Nepal this Hospital looked like
this because of its isolation this
community has no electricity meaning
that local doctors have no access to
proper medical equipment and often had
to perform surgeries and complex
procedures in the dark using only a
flashlight and very basic tools if more
complex care was needed it would take
hours to walk to a better medical
facility these limitations have resulted
in many fatalities and miscarriages so
our long-term Partners give power who we
have worked with in three previous Beast
philanthropy videos asked Dan and Darren
to join them on a track to the Village
of caguan to help them solve this
problem where they were given an
incredibly warm welcome in undoubtedly
one of the most beautiful places on
Earth on the first morning Darren met up
with a local give power engineer named
Sanjay who told him a tragic story about
nerra a woman from the village who had
previously lost her baby due to the
freezing temperatures and lack of
appropriate medical facilities and
Equipment she had to travel in the
Monson roads to the nearest boting
Center and then since the birthing
center was far away they couldn't reach
to the birthing center and had to lose
the baby and due to a lack of government
funding this Hospital would not get
electricity until at least 2030 if the
hospital was up and running with the
birthing facility the case with her
would have been completely different
Darren knew we had to act fast to
prevent this from happening again so he
also met Melissa the founder of the
green program who brought a bunch of
incredible students and volunteers to
help finish this massive project when I
was younger I was visiting my family in
Malaysia it was the first time I saw the
ocean it was the first time I saw the
reef and it was really the first time
where I realized that if we had the
opportunity to show people the beauty of
Nature and the world it really unlocks
something that makes us want to protect
it too so we've essentially taken
students from all over the world who
care so deeply about making an impact
and being able to expose our future
generations to different perspectives is
a way that we believe can really make
the world a better place after meeting
Sanjay and Melissa Darren was more
inspired than ever before to get to work
by installing a solar array in batteries
to power the new hospital as well as
provide all the equipment to outfit a
safe and modern birthing center to serve
this vulnerable
Community okay we're ready for day one 3
2
1 so the team was beyond excited to get
work we're going to dig
down let's
go by the end of the first day the team
managed to finish all the digging and
wiring I can't really put my finger on
it but there is something about the
people in this Village their
authenticity their friendliness and
their openness has made me feel part of
their families in just a few days as we
walked up to this house somebody ran
inside and he L her find his smoke
coming out and we didn't know what was
going on but he went to go Brew some tea
this is Himalayan black tea with ginger
and it is really the best tea I've ever
had in my entire life this is the
culture over here these people are
incredibly kind and welcoming and
everywhere you go they want to take care
of us they have literally opened up
their houses and given us a bedroom in
their house so that Dan and I have a
comfortable place to stay but not long
after the construction began Dan started
to feel ill I feel like super sick so
I've got to go over to the local Post to
get checked out which means he can
experience firsthand just how difficult
it is to get treated in such a remote
location as you can see everything's
locked up here and that's the harsh
reality is if you severely ill in a
village nearby you'd have to make a
7-hour trick to get to the closest big
facility that can help fortunately there
was a nurse on site that was able to see
him this is karuna a nurse in the local
town of Kagan she's come to help me but
because there is no electricity she can
only do a very basic checkup she came to
the conclusion that Dan had GTI GTI yeah
we've got GTI right it's a rare NE
disease actually it's just a minor
cold but for a community this size there
are often far more serious situations
that required an immediate and
comprehensive treatment that just are
not available with so much writing on
this project the team were already
feeling the tense pressure so while Dan
got some rest they continued with the
[Music]
[Music]
construction now that the supporting
structure was built we could begin
installing the solar
panels because of the team's hard work
we were now ahead of schedule so Darren
took the time to find out more about San
when I was working and repeating the in
na Himalayas we find out this village
with no elri City at all and then when
you get here I saw a baby was there in a
wooden box you know and then there was a
light bulbs on you know hitting it and
suddenly it popped my mind and I think
this kind of equipment can be you know
built by ourselves and after that I
formed a team out here in Nepal and then
we were able to make a baby warmer and
we call it Nano Nani in Nepali that
means a warm child nanani became such a
success that it won a People's Choice
Award in the USA I think it's a dream
come true for me because the vision is
like to you know to build this kind of
warmer and then to aware the people
about the significance in remote
settings and the remote Hospital like
this in the background realizing the
life-saving importance of simple medical
equipment Darren decided to surprise
Sanjay by buying 10 more baby warmers
that he could give to other communities
and similar needs sanj um I want to buy
another 10 of those baby warmers from
you and let you just go give it to
whatever hospitals or communities need
them thank thank you very much there it
means a lot for me and the team it feels
[Music]
unreal with only one day remaining we
were so close to finishing the
[Music]
construction and the whole team gathered
to sign the final solar
[Music]
[Applause]
panel and Darren had the honor of
tightening the final
B together with we turned a broken
building with no electricity into a
fully operational hospital that will
service over 16,000 people in this
community I have so much gratitude for
the fact that we are able to come in
here and give them a gift that will make
a meaningful difference to these people
for generations to come it's getting
close to Nightfall now and it's nearly
time to surprise the community and I
can't wait the whole village came to the
hospital to witness the lights turn on
for the first time are you ready 3 2
1 seeing the lights come on for the
first time in a community it never gets
old and it's been absolutely incredible
sharing it with this
community the next morning Sanjay
invited nerra back to the hospital so he
could show her all of the new equipment
including his is baby warmers now she's
very much optimistic that no one has to
go through what she went through she's
very happy and grateful for the birthing
facility over here

you Kell for sponsoring this video and
let's get back into it when speaking to
Sanjay we found out that although he is
nepes he has never been to Everest and
it has always been a dream of his to see
the massive Mountain so on the last
morning we decided to surprise him with
a once in A- lifetime trip we're so
close to Everest that just made sense
that we go visit it we took Sanjay to
the highest point on Everest that a
helicopter can reach the the air was so
thin Darren Dan and Sanjay were only
allowed to spend 2 minutes up there or
they could get hypoxia from lack of
oxygen Darren and I are at the highest
point we've ever been together I can't
believe this happening seeing Everest
literally brought Sanjay to his knees
with emotion it's so overwhelming it's a
dream for me to come here and see the
Ever Rest again I just want to thank our
partners at give power and the green
program for making this project possible
obviously a lot goes into making these
projects and so if if you want to learn
more about it Dan actually made a behind
