Options for a Volunteer Vacations in Nepal:

Teaching English at Buddhist monasteries in Nepal

Many schools in Nepal lack the funds to provide effective English language training. Native or fluent English speakers with or without formal teaching experience can contribute greatly to a child’s educational development. Career prospects for children of Nepal often rely on their knowledge of English, and by teaching English, volunteers become an important part of the community.

Community work at child protection homes in Nepal

Children’s homes were established in Kathmandu with the aim of providing a home and some education to children whose parents are currently in prison or for those at risk from their families. There is currently no social support system for children if their parents are sent to prison so they either have to go with them or end up on the streets. Therefore volunteers have a vital part in contributing to the care and daily lives of these children.
