Himalayan
Worldwide mission is to provide volunteers with
a customized program that will enable them to make
an important contribution to the people of Nepal,
while gaining an in-depth experience of Nepal's
language and culture, that will stay with the volunteers
for the rest of their lives.
As a part of the Volunteer Program,
Himalayan Worldwide provides Nepali cultural and
language training and then places trained volunteers
in schools and communities across Nepal to: The
best way to really experience a culture to live
for some time within it. Nepal has many volunteer
opportunities doing all kinds of things, from environmental
action to handicraft design to teaching. The experience
is incredibly rewarding and should never be expensive,
unlike many groups which charge you a premium to
volunteer your time! Here are some volunteer activities.
Teaching - Teach
in urban or rural areas of Nepal, your food and
lodging is provided and instruction in any subject
is needed in English medium. Prior teaching experience
not necessary.
Handicraft Design
- Anyone with prior experience in handicrafts, textiles,
wood-working, felting, embroidery, graphic or product
design, clothing design, paper-making, book-binding,
beading, jewelry, fine arts or the marketing of
such items is desperately needed. You can help to
design new handicrafts and offer valuable insight
into western styles and trends. Seeking fierce trend-setters!
Orphanages -
Work and stay in a local orphanage, eating and sleeping
with the children. During the day, instruct classes
and in the evening, love and care for them, like
others haven't.
