Description:
( http://volunteer-nepal.org ) Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, and there are many opportunities to combine a holiday with some voluntary work. Volunteers experience life in both a rural and urban area, which is quite different from the banana pancake trail followed by the average tourist. VSSN is a Non government organization which places volunteers in schools and orphanages for two to five months also short stays are arranged. An initial fee covers food and accommodation, and includes an orientation course with lessons in Nepali, cultural tours and lectures, and social events. Most people in Nepal can't afford to travel, and in the villages there is little chance of contact with the outside world. Volunteer teachers enable students to form relationships with someone from another culture, and the teachers can learn different teaching methods and techniques. Mainly, volunteers assist the regular school teacher so volunteers do not need to have any teaching background. Volunteers are also welcome to teach different subjects e.g. mathematics, history, science, geography, computer, technologies, music and other subjects. All higher education in Nepal is in English, so it is vitally important that children must learn English to continue further higher education. A trained teacher is committed to raising standards in schools in Nepal, and with an adult literacy rate of 51% for men and 24% for women there is plenty of room for improvement.
Volunteers have a light schedule of three to four lessons a day from 10 am to 4pm.
Program fee:
One week to two weeks: Euros 250 €
Three weeks: Euros 325 €
Four weeks (a month): Euros 400 €
For each additional week: Euros 45 €
