About the project
Assist Kids
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Nepal had suffered a long age of insurgency and conflict. Many children were left homeless and lost their parents. This project provides the volunteers a chance to make some difference to such deprived children by helping them on day-to-day work such as sanitation, learning, recreation and extracurricular activities such as drawing, painting, singing, and dancing.
💼 What the programme involves
The main role of the volunteer is to make children feel being with someone who cares about them. Volunteers are not supposed to make a dramatic change or contribution to these kids. Simply sharing your honest feeling, playing and having fun with them can also give positive impact on their daily life. Main objective of this volunteer project is to bring mental, intellectual, physical and social improvement to these kids.
🏠 Accommodation on site
A simple room with a bed. Once volunteers arrive, they will spend their first and second night at the volunteers house located in Kathmandu. During the project, they will live with the host family. We advice people to take a sleeping bag and mosquito net with them.
🍲 Food
You will have 3 meals as well as tea and coffee at the project site. Breakfast occurs at 7:00 am and consists of a cup of tea and biscuits. Lunch is served at 11:30 am and usually includes dall/bhat( rice, lentils and vegetables). Dinner is at around 7:00 pm and is once more dall/bhat. The food is very simple but also extremely delicious and filling. Food is only included at the project site: if during the weeks-ends you want to visit, you will have to buy your meals.
📍 About the location
Kathmandu is the capital of the kingdom, situated in a valley which is an open air museum of famous sites, ancient temples and shrines, golden pagodas and are inspiring deities, is a city of inexhaustible historic artistic and cultural interest. Several beautiful and interesting villages and towns surrounding the valley offer ideal destinations for mini treks. The dazzling Himalayan peaks are visible from several points on the mountains around the valley.
Transportation is convenient and inexpensive. Medical service is quite good. Shoppers may purchase unusual gifts and souvenirs from an interesting assortment of items such as handicrafts, carpets, wooden art works, bronze casting and metal work, thankas, Nepali paper prints and readymade garments.
🎒 Leisure activities
Jungle safari is one of the most amazing trips in Nepal, as it is a rich country with an exceptional bio diversity and a beautiful natural environment. The tropical jungles of the Tarai preserve some of the best wildlife habitat in the subcontinent. There are also outdoor adventure sports into the wilderness to see wild animals, birds and natural beauty. You can either ride on an elephant’s back or on a four wheeler jeep accompanied by a fully trained guide (naturalist) to view the nature and animals.
⚠️ Requirements
No specific skill or qualification is required while volunteering in Nepal for orphanage project, but volunteers with interest in social development of children and who love spending time with kids are appreciated. Furthermore, SVI requires a B1 level of english.
