Orphanage Volunteer in Nepal

Every year hundreds of children escape from the poor villages to the cities in order to find work. Most of them were left behind when they were still little, have fled from wars, lost both of their parents or come from destitute family backgrounds. Hence most of those children have very little education. They work in restaurants, factories, hotels, as slaves or they collect rubbish.

Those disadvantaged children need love, care and the chance of receiving school education. Volunteers teach basic English skills as well as other subjects such as maths, physics, biology and chemistry. You are also welcome to organize excursions, games, drawing contests etc., dance, sing and draw with the children or whatever young people enjoy doing! You will also help with preparations for school and with their homework.

Accommodation and Meals:

During the orientation time you will stay in a hostel in Kathmandu. Afterwards you are brought to your project together with other volunteers, where you will live with a hosting family. You will have your meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) together with your host family. This way you will get to know Nepalese culture, get integrated in the community of the village you work in, and make new friends quickly.
