Amazing experience
December 06, 2019by: Parima PersaudProgram: Nepal - Empowering Women in KathmanduMy most memorable experience at this program was helping women to read, write and speak in English was overall a memorable experience. They were so happy and grateful for everything we were doing for them.
It has been a great experience
February 04, 2019by: Antonino CavarrettaProgram: Nepal - Empowering Women in KathmanduIt has been a great experience and I found exactly what I was looking from this experience. The people there are amazing and the staff is very supportive. In terms of daily organisation of the activities would be great if there would be a program to follow (to avoid repetition of the same topics by the volunteers) and a methodology to use, same for all. This will allow the students to have even more effective, linear and continuous approach to the study.
A great experience
September 13, 2017by: Emma - United KingdomProgram: Nepal - Empowering Women in KathmanduGoing to Nepal to volunteer, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. What I got was much more than I could have hoped for. The staff was so friendly and I loved getting to meet other volunteers from around the world. The women were so sweet and willing to learn. I would definitely recommend to a friend.
