Nepal's capital - Kathmandu is a huge city where there is a bit wealth divide. There are lots of children living on the streets or living in abject poverty which is quite shocking to see. There are lots of international volunteer organisations like Volunteering Solutions, and local NGo's who are trying to help the children by giving them a place to live, education and a future. This is where you can help by signing up to be an international volunteer in Nepal which is a spectacular country with lots of places to explore and visit.
The local people and children will welcome you with open arms, Nepali people are very hospitable and when working on volunteer programs in Nepal you will be able to work alongside local staff and help improve children's lives. You'll be given an introduction and training so don't worry if you have no previous experience working with children. You'll work throughout the week providing care and attention to children in need
Orphanage staff in Nepal work really hard under tough conditions and you can play a role. Some days you might be helping children learn English, or looking to improve their homework. Some activities will be really fun like leading art, music, singing and sports classes. You will also be able to help the children with their hygiene standards and also take them out to see more of Kathmandu. Placements are varied and no two days are the same, sometimes they can also be challenging so patience is needed.
In your spare time you can join excursions, or even take a language course in Kathmandu. These are exciting and rewarding programs and a great way to do more than just your average holiday. Nepal orphanage placements run all year round and you can enquire for more information or apply today with Volunteering Solutions.
