Find Nirvana While Volunteering in Nepal
by Globe Aware
Program Overview
Globe Aware's Nepal program is based in the lush valley of Chitwan, 60 miles outside of Kathmandu. This is a region where traditional mountain life and a variety of exotic wildlife reign. Your fully packed schedule will have you working three full days on either or both of these projects.
Teaching
As a volunteer, you can work in a school developed to provide free or near-to-free education to children below the poverty line. Help teach subjects like English, Art, Music, and more. You can also provide tutoring to students with learning difficulties, helping them learn essential problem-solving skills and build their confidence by playing sports and games.
Renovation
You can focus on renovating old homes, which are falling apart and in desperate need of repairs, and building hygiene stations. Many of these homes belong to families with low incomes and are unable to afford the repairs themselves.
In 2015, Nepal experienced a 7.8-magnitude earthquake. Aftershocks are followed by another earthquake just days after. These disasters left many people homeless or with homes badly in need of repair.
