Volunteer in Nepal - United Planet - 2 weeks to 1 year

Posted on: May 1, 2013

Posted by: United Planet

Description

Description

Nepal is a small yet culturally rich country with a long history; it is an amazing Himalayan country with spectacular wildlife and scenery. Nepal is famous for being home to some of the highest mountains in the world, including Mt. Everest. With its melting pot of Hindu, Buddhist and traditional culture and customs, Nepal has long been a destination of choice for those seeking adventure and excitement!

Despite its appearance as a Himalayan Shangri-La and the friendly and peaceful attitude of its people, social and economic issues continue to plague Nepal. Approximately 40% of the population lives in poverty and the majority of Nepalis are subsistence farmers.

Our volunteers in Nepal are welcomed in local communities to assist with social challenges and to engage in cross-cultural learning and dialogue.

United Planet's Volunteer Abroad Quest program offers signature pre-departure and in-country training, personal volunteer support, meaningful volunteer opportunities, diverse cultural and learning activities, local excursions, a strong host family network, and much more.
