LOCATION

The placements are available in pokhara Valley, Pokhara and Chitwan, all of

which are near to the main city. The exact location of your placement is

finalized during the training where you will visit several potential

project sites. Project placement also takes into consideration:

- Your skills and preferences

- The needs and requirements of the orphanages and schools

- Seasonal weather patterns

All placements are very flexible giving you the opportunity to take some

time off and explore Nepal and some of

the world famous attractions. You could go rafting on the Tibetan border,

trekking the Annapurna circuit or Everest , maybe

Himalayan river kayaking, join the Royal tiger and elephant safari, or try

the longest free-fall bungee jump in the world.

|| PROGRAM REQUIREMENT

Volunteers for this program must have sound health.

Volunteers need to be independent, enthusiastic

and adaptable. We does not

ask for any formal qualifications from our

volunteers. All we ask is that you have a genuine desire to help people and

are committed to seeing the programme through.

|| PROGRAM SCHEDULE

Our programs run throughout the year. You

can volunteer anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. Also, we are pretty

flexible on your arrival regards and our

programme is very flexible and it would be possible you to start any time.

|| TRAINING

You will be met at the airport by a representative of your guesthouse and

taken back to your accommodation.

All volunteers will receive initial training after arriving in pokhara.

The training is designed to help you settle

into Nepal and to ensure you are fully prepared for your volunteer

placement: A typical orientation period is as follows:

Basic Nepali Language

classes - 2hrs, morning.

Nepali cultural orientation/general cultural exchange

Sightseeing - 2 1/2 hrs, afternoon.

After completion of your orientation phase you will be escorted to your

assigned placement.

Your flights, Visa (a 60 day tourist visa is only US$30, the extensions are

US$30 per 30 days with three

renewals possible), shots, travel insurance, and corresponding airport

departure taxes. Also you will need a

weekly budget of up to US$20 to

to most western countries and usually it is

difficult to spend more than US$ 10 per week during your placement.
