Volunteers needed for an orphanage in Nepal

Our partnership organisation in Nepal is looking for volunteers for their school and orphanage in Kathmandu Valley for the Spring and Summer months. Volunteers are primarily needed for teaching English and for helping with day-to-day activities at the orphanage. The orphanage is located in Bouddanah, which is about 20 minutes drive from Katmandu city centre. The school and orphanage are located right next to one of the biggest Buddhist monasteries and temples in the whole of South Asia.

Volunteers can stay in a guest room at the orphanage, free of charge. Food is provided free of charge as well. Volunteers are welcome to stay for as long, or as short a time, as they wish (although a minimum stay of 3 weeks is recommended in order to maximise the benefit of one's work, plus to have time for exploring the culture and Kathmandu Valley). There are no placement fees. Volunteers are welcome to donate money if they wish to do so, or to take clothes, toys or books etc. to the kids when they travel over.

The staff at the orphanage are extremely friendly and warm. A pleasant stay is a guarantee.
