Nepal Volunteer Quests

Orphanage Quests
Volunteers in Nepal are needed to help at a local orphanage in Kathmandu. There are 47 children at the orphanage, ranging in age from four months to 13 years old. Currently, over 30 of the children are infants which the staff need help looking after and tending to their basic needs. Volunteers can also help the older children with educational activities such as arts and crafts, helping with home work and basic English teaching. There is no language requirement or previous experience needed for this Quest.

Teaching Quests

Volunteers are needed to teach at local schools in various areas of Nepal, including Kathmandu and much more rural locations. Volunteers teach their own class or assist a local teacher in a range of subjects such as English, Math and Science and also less traditional subjects such as public speaking and money management. No previous teaching experience is necessary and there is no language requirement for this Quest as the teachers and many students speak English. Teaching volunteers are placed with local host families, including Sherpa families for the rural placements around the Himalayas.

Social Work Quests
Female volunteers in Nepal are needed to help at a counseling center in Kathmandu. The center is run by women, and counsels young children who have been victims of abuse. The children can live at the counseling center for up to a year while they receive counseling. Volunteers can live and work at the center and help take care of the girls, giving them love and attention and helping them with homework. For experienced volunteers, there is also the option of working on community workshops educating local communities on many topics from parenting to the effects of abuse. No experience or language skills are necessary but volunteers with a background in social work, health education, or teaching are appreciated.
