Need volunteer help

Location: Sauraha, Nepal

We are based in Sauraha next to the Chitwan National Park in Nepal. We are running a social organization which aims to provide a home, food and education for underprivileged Nepali children.

We welcome volunteers to stay with us at the main home with the children in Sauraha and can also organise placements for you in Pokhara and Kathmandu. You will be supported by a professional network to help guide you through your volunteering experience.

Volunteer activities include:
-Orphanage Assistance
-Teaching in school and at home (eg English, maths, science, music, geography, art, dance - depending on your specific area of expertise)
-Home stay and Cultural Exchange
-Health and Sanitation Awareness Program
-Environmental Awareness
-Women Empowerment Program
-Income Generating Training
-Caring to injured wildlife orphan animal
-Organic Farming and Perm culture
-Nurses (Hospital and health post)
-Sports coacher
-HIV Aids awareness program

Within the teaching program the students that you will be teaching range from 5-16 years old, and typically in groups of around 30-50. The curriculum for the key subjects will be provided from the Nepali student's standard book, however volunteers are also encouraged to create their own lesson plans.

There are a number of related local organisations that may be of interest. We can arrange these visits and also a wide variety of sight seeing trips and jungle activities in the Chitwan National Park, including Elephant Safari, canoe trips, jungle walk etc.

Rooms are available in either the orphanage or host family where they are offered Nepali food twice a day (around 9 o'clock in the morning and 7o'clock in the evening). Tea is served in the morning and afternoon. Rooms will be comfortable but basic.

WE ASK CONTRIBUTION U$ 10 ( U$ 300 DOLLAR PER MONTH) per day contribution towards accommodation and food. We receive no government funding for the orphanage so all contributions go towards keeping the project going.
