Why your help is needed
Just as in many countries in the developing world, education is something that is
not universally available to all children. Schools in the poorer areas often have
limited resources and teachers are often in short supply. Class sizes fluctuate
and crowded classrooms can result in children vying for attention. Despite these
difficulties, the children who are fortunate enough to attend school are happy and
keen learners.
Volunteers on this project help schools to provide their pupils with an improved
quality of education. The primarily subject is normally English, however there are
also opportunities to teach other subjects including (but not limited to) maths
and where resources permit, IT. There is also the chance for volunteers to get involved
in extra curricular activities from arts and crafts, dance or music, to sports days,
football matches or games.
This environment provides a great opportunity for volunteers to learn more about
Nepal’s language, culture, festivals, customs and family structures.
Helping less privileged children learn and develop is an extremely rewarding experience,
particularly as volunteers often have freedom to introduce their own ideas and lesson
plans. 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.
How long can I go for? 6 – 12 weeks, with a two day arrival orientation.
Working hours: 4-5 hours a day, 5 days a week
Eligibility: British/Irish, 18+
