In June, Maharishi University of Management study abroad students helped build nine off-the-grid houses made of bamboo and earth in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan.
MUM students and others who joined the course also worked with Bhutan's Gross National Happiness Centre, visited organic gardens, and participated in other activities.
Bhutan is being presented as an example of a developing country that has put environmental conservation and sustainability at the heart of its political agenda.
