The Home Stay and Cultural Exchange Program is a great way to experience Nepali culture, and can be arranged in most areas of Nepal with one of our 30 host families. Participants will be placed with a host family in a small rural village, which provides volunteers with an excellent opportunity to immerse themselves in all aspects of Nepali culture, lifestyle, language, food, and people. The cultural exchange also allows the volunteer to offer knowledge of their own culture and customs with their host family as well. During their stay, volunteers will attend two hours of language lessons in the morning and afternoon. Opportunities will also be given to visit and help out at local schools. The Nepali culture is very friendly and hospitable, and many participants feel as though they are a part of the host family. Our local coordinators will be available to help volunteers.

The Women Empowerment Program supports women in their pursuit of healthy and sustainable lifestyles. The program provides a forum for issues such as family health, women’s rights, income generation, access to resources, and other challenges that women face. Volunteers will exchange ideas, assist with ongoing projects, teach basic English, help with small businesses, and provide the group with a positive role model. Support can be given in many ways other than those listed, depending on the skills of the individual volunteer, and the needs of the local community. The efforts of the volunteer make a huge positive impact to women in the most marginalized communities.

The Health Post Program is beneficial for doctors, medical students, nurses, and nursing students. Volunteers have the opportunity to work in hospitals and community health clinics in various locations in Nepal. Volunteers will assist the staff in dressing wounds, administering vaccinations, drawing blood, holding babies as they are treated, and helping to screen and organize patients. Volunteers can also assist in obtaining medicines and supplies, and helping out in daily activities. Volunteers can also organize health programs in their placement. This program provides a wonderful chance to support local doctors and nurses in a country where health care is a major issue, and the availability of trained staff in rural areas is low. Volunteers have the change to make a huge difference in the community.

In this program, volunteers teach environmental awareness and sanitation in local schools or at an Environmental Post for two to four hours a day, Sunday through Friday. The focus of these projects can be defined by the individual volunteer based on their area of interest and expertise, and also on the needs of the village. Projects include: creating "green" clubs, planting gardens and trees, education on garbage management, starting recycling programs, creating smokeless stoves, building toilet pits, etc. Volunteers can also share their knowledge by educating youth clubs and women’s groups, and going door-to-door to teach the village about environmental issues. for more : http://volunteerhelpcenter.org

Teaching English to Nepali children is very challenging and rewarding work. Seeing their progression and enthusiasm makes the experience exceptionally satisfying. Volunteers will teach students who are eager to improve their conversational English skills, and the locations of the program are primarily in the government school system, orphanages, women’s groups, and village community libraries. You will also have the opportunity to teach other subjects such as math, science, music geography, art, and dance, depending on your area of interest and expertise. Classes consist of students ranging from ages 5 to 16 years old, depending on the volunteers preference, with older students having more proficient language skills. Typical class sizes range from 30 to 50 students per class. The curriculum for the course will be taken from the Nepali students’ standard book, but volunteers are encouraged to create their own lesson plans. Inspiration for creative lesson plans can be found on many websites. Volunteers will have a permanent staff member there to assist with communication with the students and staff members. Classes generally run from Sunday to Friday, with four to six class periods each day.
