Description

You have the opportunity to participate in a variety of health, educational and community aid programs. This will give you a chance to make an important contribution to the people of Nepal. While doing so you will gain an in depth experience of the country and its culture that will stay with you the rest of your life.

Highlights

The placements are available in Pokhara Valley, Pokhara and Chitwan, all of which are near to the main city. The exact location of your placement is finalized during the training where you will visit several potential project sites. Project placement also takes into consideration:

* Your skills and preferences
* The needs and requirements of the orphanages and schools
* Seasonal weather patterns

All placements are very flexible giving you the opportunity to take some time off and explore Nepal and some of the world famous attractions. Rafting on the Tibetan border, trekking the Annapurna circuit or Everest Base Camp, Himalayan river kayaking, a Royal tiger and elephant safari, or the longest free-fall bungee jump in the world are a few options.

* Volunteers for this program must have sound health.
* Volunteers need to be independent, enthusiastic and adaptable. We do not ask for any formal qualifications from our volunteers. All we ask is that you have a genuine desire to help people and are committed to seeing the program through.
