Three of the world's ten highest mountains are within touching distance of idyllic Pokhara, the third largest city in Nepal. This beautiful country in Asia will be home while you volunteer on local health-based initiatives. You will be providing health support for people with special needs and assisting in training teachers, health workers and families in order to help the community provide healthcare support where it is needed. How this program makes a difference: You will be involved in both administering immediate medical attention and training the wider community in basic healthcare. This means that the work you do has both immediate and long-term benefits.

This program helped open my eyes to bigger things
April 28, 2016by: Amanda - SingaporeMy most positive experience was getting to know the children at the projects, and bonding with the staff on site as well as other volunteers. This program helped open my eyes to bigger things, and there's just so much help that people less fortunate than us need and so much that we can do.
I had the best time ever
April 28, 2016by: Philip - LuxembourgMeeting so many nice people from all over the world and the great time I had with the GVI team. Living there a normal, everyday life was wonderful. I had the best time ever and question my life back at home quite a lot now.
It was an incredible experience
April 28, 2016by: Vicki - United KingdomJust being able to experience a different country, a different culture was amazing for me. Meeting new people from all over the world, and being able to work with the most amazing, and lovely group of children. The field staff were amazing, supportive, helpful. The other volunteers were a great group of people, lovely. The host family were also wonderful people! I just thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. And I'm already saving to go back, and organising fundraising for the projects while I'm at home.
