flexible in this regard.
We are attaching documents along with this mail and we will be highly

1. Teaching English
For Teaching English first of all we provide training to the volunteer about
how to teach in Nepal. As the system of teaching is different in Nepal so a
volunteer should learn the teaching methodology of Nepal. The period of this
program is of 2 to 9 months. Volunteers will stay with a Nepali family near
school. The volunteers will teach for about 2 to 3 hours each day for six
days a week except on Saturdays. They will also be involved in teaching in
youth clubs or women's group for informal education for 1 to 2 hours a day.
School children will be 10 to 14 years of age and have basic English.
Volunteer for this program will also be engaged to let the teachers of the
school about teaching practices and conversational English to enable the
teachers English.
2. Environmental Awareness
For Environmental Awareness first of all we provide training to the volunteer
about how to teach Environmental Education. The period of this program is
also of 2 to 9 months. Volunteers will stay with a Nepali family near the
school. The volunteers will teach Environmental Education for about 2 to 3
hours each day for six days a week except on Saturdays. They will also be
involved in working with the youth clubs or women's group in the community
about Environmental Education and they will be sharing their ideas, skills
and knowledge with the local NGO's about Environmental issues. They will form
a group among the students which works in areas of environment inside and
outside the school with lots of activities such as creating green clubs,
making flower garden, planting trees, garbage management, paper recycling,
making smokeless stove, making toilet pit using available local materials, etc.
3. Health and Sanitation issues/Primary Health Care
For Health and Sanitation issues first of all we provide orientation to
volunteer about the situation of Health and Sanitation in Nepal. The period
of this program depends on the need and interest of the volunteers.
Volunteers will stay with a Nepali family near the Health Post. They will be
involved in a Health Post in the morning and evening. The volunteers will
give Health Education to the school children in a school for about 1 to 2
hours each day for six days a week except on Saturdays. They will also be
involved in working with the youth clubs or women's group in the community
about Health and Sanitation, providing First Aid information and they will be
visiting the village and giving information to the local people. We prefer
medical students for this program but the person who are interested in doing
the program are also welcome.
4. Home Stay Programme/Cultural Exchange
The volunteers will stay in a village with a Nepali Family. During their
stay, volunteers will learn the Nepali Language for 2 hours in the morning
and in the afternoon. They will visit the village and will go to the local
school during the day. The home stay program will be a good opportunity for
volunteers to learn the Nepali culture, lifestyle, language, and people. We
can arrange home stay program in most parts of Nepal. During this period
volunteer will be participating in local festival and get the opportunity to
exchange their culture.
P. S. : Volunteers are provided with Nepali Language at the beginning of each
