Description:
Work with other international volunteers and local villagers on a variety of projects, including school renovations and community development projects. Volunteers work 20-30 hours per week either physically or technically depending upon the project and the volunteer's skills. Volunteers will also have opportunities for cultural activities such as village visits, community stay, and traditional dance. Work camp participants will live with a host family or in a Hostel-style house. These programs are truly rewarding for both the Nepali community and the volunteer.
Highlights:
The geographic diversity of Nepal ranges from the sub-tropical Terai region in the South, with an elevation of only 300 feet above sea level, to the top of the world on Mount Everest. This amazing geographic diversity, along with its equally awesome cultural diversity and social harmony, offer unlimited opportunities for international volunteers to explore the nature and culture in one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
