Description:

The Global Volunteer Network has volunteer opportunities available through our partner organization in Nepal.

The volunteer opportunities are in areas such as Teaching English, Health Education, School and Community Maintenance Program, Childrens Homes, and a Home Stay Programme/Cultural Exchange.

This is a fantastic way to get more out of a trip to Nepal, especially if your time is short. You will be placed with a Nepali family as soon as you arrive in Nepal, and will live in a small rural village or within a city. During your home stay you will learn about all aspects of Nepali culture, lifestyle, food, and be able to attend 2 hours of language lessons in the morning and in the afternoon. As the experience will be a cultural exchange, you should also try to offer your host family some knowledge of your own home culture and customs as well. Home stay programs can only be arranged for two weeks or one month. They are best between August and December, the time when most large local festivals take place resulting in an overall more exciting experience.
