Description

This 2-Week Special program is designed to give you an unparalleled overview of physical therapy or medicine in Nepal. Based in the intriguing Nepalese capital Kathmandu, physical therapy and medical interns will spend time in the Hospital and Rehabilitation Center for Disabled Children. This is always an inspiring placement thanks to the fantastic work that goes on at the center. Medical interns will also spend time in a maternity clinic and visit a number of different hospital departments.

You will live with a host family close to the areas where you will be working and will participate in evening activities planned by our local staff.

Over the weekend there will be a trip to the central markets and local temples as well as the option to explore the hills around Kathmandu by mountain bike.

Please Note: This project is only open to volunteers who are 16-19 years old.

Highlights

For your accommodation, you'll live with a Nepalese host-family, which is a great environment for learning about a new way of life. All the families involved are extremely supportive of the projects carried out by Projects Abroad and are eager to experience an inter-cultural exchange and learn about the lives of volunteers.

Projects Abroad has opened here to give volunteers a truly unforgettable experience. Our office is in the bustling capital city of Kathmandu where jostling crowds, rickety bullock carts and noisy auto-rickshaws all contribute to the noise, character and constant energy of its traditionally narrow streets.

Projects Abroad's Mission Statement

As part of the global economy, Projects Abroad helps create local employment wherever we send volunteers. Employing local staff overseas and using their talents and knowledge is important to us. This local knowledge and support enables the organization to channel the skills of the volunteers from more affluent countries to regions around the world where they are needed. Volunteers also learn from their placements and the people they meet, and they gain experience in a chosen field. In the 21st century, we believe this mutual respect is what cultural exchange is all about.
