With the view of development in local communities through volunteering support by various way and technology in different sector. Possibilities for projects are wide open: volunteers routinely teach at school, but many also get involved with coaching sports, providing medical assistance or training, conducting research, assisting with income-generating projects, or a variety of other activities.
There are no fixed guidelines for how to volunteer what one chooses to do is guided mostly by his or her imagination. Because of the open-ended nature of this program to be an asset, it may not be suitable for those who are looking for a structured experience. Though it is possible to earn college credit for volunteering in Nepal, this tends to be a self-directed learning experience.
Volunteering in Nepal is probably the best thing any one can do right out of college. It is an ideal transition between student life and after student work world. In the process of deciding what projects to undertake in the village, that have to spend considerable time assessing where interests lie and what skills can offer to others—good preparation for any future job. At the same time, living in a village in rural Nepal is a major learning experience, similar to a fifth year of school but with a radically different curriculum. Whether you would like to take a short volunteer vacation or a prolonged gap, we provide challenging and affordable programs.
