Volunteer Teacher - Nepal
Volunteer Teacher - Nepal
We have worked in Nepal since 1990 when we began to send volunteers to the magnificent Helambu region of Nepal to help rural schools in the area. During our time there we built a new school and have helped educate many hundreds of children from that region, one of whom is currently sponsored to attend university in the UK, learning skills to take back to his home village in Nepal!
We are working in three schools in the Kathmandu valley, in the major districts. These schools were set up by a local Nepali who wanted to help the increasing numbers of street children in the city. Here volunteers help in a support role to the teachers already established, helping with English conversation and other activities.
For those wanting to keep out of the city, we also have schools situated in villages up in the hills surrounding the valley, offering a beautiful setting to teach English and other subjects to the young children.
The children are responsive and welcoming and the need is for enthusiasm and commitment from our volunteers, rather than formal qualifications. We offer an optional weekend short course in Oxford for those who feel they need extra teaching support. Qualified teachers are also welcome as they can assist with local teacher training.
In each country we have a local manager; we are very careful over security and health issues, and upon arrival you will be met at the airport by our manager and taken through an induction and to your placement to settle in.
