Why your help is needed
Not only are teachers in short supply, but the teaching institutions are also needing
attention. We work with existing schools and children’s centres, repairing and decorating
classrooms and also constructing new facilities. The tools and building methods
are traditional. This gives an interesting insight in to the local techniques although
it can be frustrating for people familiar with the modern technologies of the developed
west.
Experience isn’t required but you must be enthusiastic and prepared to get your
hands dirty.
When working at a school there is also the opportunity to spend some of your time
helping in the classroom or with extra curricular activities if you wish.
This environment provides a great opportunity for volunteers to learn more about
Nepal’s language, culture, festivals, customs and family structures.
Helping to provide less privileged children with a comfortable environment to study
and learn in is an extremely rewarding experience. The project gives volunteers
who are serious about making a real difference in the developing world the chance
to do so at a local level, working directly with those who genuinely need help and
support now.
