The Global Volunteer Network has volunteer opportunities available through our partner organization in Nepal.
The volunteer opportunities are in areas such as Teaching English, Childrens Homes, Health Education, School and Community Maintenance Program and a Home Stay Programme/Cultural Exchange.
Health volunteers will work within the children's homes that VSN serve. The main focus is on preventative measures by way of regular basic health checks, administering necessary childhood immunisations and teaching the children about health, personal hygiene and sanitation as a disease prevention method. Please note that for this program we prefer medical students or advanced degree holders. Depending on experience/qualifications, there are various roles health volunteers can undertake, however this is not a medical program and you should not expect to be performing any medical procedures. Volunteers are required to submit their resume/CV when making an application for this program.
The volunteer program starts on the 1st of each month. The minimum placement period for the Teaching program is one month. The schools are closed during March, April, June, July and October so the teaching English program is limited during this period. Please note that September-November there are local festivals that can disrupt your program. An alternative placement can be arranged for this time in another program. If you are volunteering for month or less, we do not recommend starting your placement at this time of year. For those volunteering for a longer period of time, the festival does provide a great opportunity to interact with the local culture.
