About the project
Child Cure
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
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
Volunteers will take care of the children, helping them with their homework, chatting ad playing with them, play sports, music and games. When the children leave for school, you’ll be accompanying them. In the school, volunteers will mainly be teaching basic English to children aged 6 to 15. However, since schools are always in need of teachers, volunteers may also teach Math, Science and Computer Science. In Nepal school goes from 10am to 4pm. Volunteers will teach 3 to 5 classes per day, each class lasting 45 minutes.
🏠 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.
🍲 Food
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.
