Volunteer in Childcare in Nepal

Childcare was a wonderful time. I spent my two weeks there i walked in the street in the morning and afternoon with nothing happening. The time I arrived in KingderGarden School, everyone was warm to me with Namaste. All the staff are so nice and friendl.

I think that all volunteering work is impactful no matter how big or small it is, ultimately you are helping towards a bigger goal. I think I had the same values as the school and enjoyed that they accommodated for the poorer less privileged and had less holidays so parents could work more and I will definitely be visiting again next year. I also think the experience had such a huge positive impact on me aswell as I’m quite anxious and it allowed me to be forced into a completely new environment with new people, and I’ve made friends for life. I feel like I’ve gained so much more confidence and a deeper perspective into life. Anyone who is hesitant about joining, I would say that everyone volunteering is in the same position so it’s super easy to make friends and a nice environment. Also the program is so great at answering all your questions and being as accommodating as they can. As well as that I would say it was the best experience of my life, greatest start to being 18 and, no amount of nerves should hinder you from following your passion.

I’ve been able to meet like-minded people, immerse myself in the culture by living with a local family, and engage in the community by making a difference where needed. I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been able to experience this as it has genuinely given me a new perspective. I would 100% recommend it. My advice would be that if you have the capacity to help others, why wouldn’t you? And that you’ll never regret making a difference in other peoples lives. Volunteering experience aside, IVHQ is a great organisation to go through as they are helpful and organised.
