🏢 About the local organisation
Do you want to live ad experience the authentic Nepal' Discover entirely new lifestyles' Make a difference? Long Term Volunteering makes all these things possible, and more. Background Nepal is an underdeveloped country. Years of political conflict, poverty and lack of education have prevented the Nepalese people from getting the chances they deserve. At the Friendship Foundation Nepal (FFN), we believe it’s our responsibility to help ad try to improve those conditions, but improvements take time. To better a society you must first live in it. In order to change a country’s conditions you must first experience those conditions firsthand. Only after experiencing them you can share your knowledge through teaching, sharing ad interacting, which can in turn have a lasting effect on the local population. You might discover that living with a local family and adjusting to the Nepali lifestyle will have a lasting effect on you too.
💼 What the programme involves
Work mainly, the volunteer will be teaching Art Education to children between 6 and 15 years of age. However, since schools are always in need of teachers, it’s possible for the volunteer to also teach English, Math and Science. In Nepal school goes from 10 am to 4 pm. The volunteer will teach 3-5 classes each day, with each class lasting 45 minutes. Saturdays are holidays, and Fridays are half-holidays. When not in school, you’ll share your everyday life with the host family.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will live with a Nepali family close to the school, and experience their hospitality, friendliness and immerse yourself in their unique lifestyle. You’ll be welcomed as a member of the family and of the local community. At least one member of the family will speak English. Nepali houses are simple, with basic facilities (squat toilet, shower, kitchen, etc). Most families DO NOT have hot showers, but most of them have western style toilets. Just don’t expect to find the same facilities as in your home country. You’ll get your ow room and the family will respect your privacy. In order to make the most of your experience in Nepal, we encourage to interact and socialize as much as possible with your host family ad take part in their daily activities. You’ll find cities to be more similar to your country, while in the countryside many Nepalis grow their own vegetables and typically ow cows, buffalos, goats or chickens. You will be served food twice a day: breakfast around 9-10 am ad diner around 7-8 pm. You’ll soon realize that tea is the most popular beverage in Nepal: whenever you visit a family you’ll be offered a cup. When and for how long? Long term volunteering lasts 2 to 5 months. It takes some time to get used to the different lifestyle, so we advise to stay for as long as possible. Camps start the first Monday of every month. Location we provide living all over Nepal. Depending on your interest and willingness, you ca choose to stay in a variety of different places: in or around the Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara, Tanahun, Lamjung, Chitwan, Makwanpur or Nawalparasi. You could stay in a secluded village, where people live in a more traditional way and provide for themselves through farming, which is also a great opportunity to explore the real rural Nepal, or you could opt for a more urban and modern Nepal experience in one of the bustling and fast-growing cities, like Kathmandu or Pokhara.
