Teach English in a Monastery in Nepal, and get the chance to immerse in the Buddhist monastery life in one of the most spiritual countries in the world. 

Volunteers contribute to the personal development and education of hundreds of children in Kathmandu and play their part in preserving Buddhist practice and Tibetan culture. If there is anywhere to experience authentic Buddhist monastery life, this is it. Volunteers can also teach at Tibetan refugee camps in the city, where Tibetan culture and Buddhism are an integral part of daily life.

Volunteering in Nepal - A Day In The Life

By nature, monastery life is both simple and rewarding. The day starts early, often well before dawn, and much of the morning is devoted to prayer. Usually, teaching takes place in the afternoon for 3-4 hours. During their time at the monastery, volunteers will have plenty of opportunity to get to know the monks and Buddhism. The monks here are invariably open and friendly, and will only be too happy to discuss Buddhism, spirituality, life, and the world in general. Many an hour can be passed in deep discussion, and remember, their own English skills probably grew from the help of the teachers and volunteers of the past.
