This vital program focuses on the needs of society's most vulnerable. The placement is in the magical city of Kathmandu where volunteers provide care, support, and attention that disadvantaged children desperately need. Despite the growing tourist industry of Nepal, unfortunately, its people still suffer extreme poverty and many families are unable to care for their kids. Such poor living conditions force the youth to leave their village to find work in the capital but they end up trapped in child labor in restaurants, hotels, and factories.

Incredible and eye-opening experience

It was honestly such a culture shock, but the people in Nepal are truly the kindest and most gentle people I've ever met. For my 3,5 weeks I stayed in Pokhara, where the childcare home was about a 30 minute walk from Lakeside Pokhara. I was really l...
