TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCE

🏢 About the local organisation
💼 What the programme involves
Has the idea of giving back crossed your mind? Have you talent/know-how to donate? VIN put together the computer technology project in recognition of information technology as a fast-moving, efficient means of communication. As things stand, there is a severe shortage of IT-know-how in Nepal. The country will need to do much to improve, let alone catchup, with the outside world and join the IT-age. Help Nepal get ahead! Your participation is key to providing them these tools.
Possible Daily activities
• Teach basic IT in public/community schools as well as their teachers, community youth and women.
• Or/And help out in the main VIN office to maintain/improve VIN’s website.
• Teach computer and internet skills to local teachers.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The program fee includes accommodation and food for the duration of your volunteering or internship. VIN has a hostel which can accommodate up to 35 people, with up to five bunk beds per room. During the volunteer induction, volunteers will share these rooms.
If the hostel is unavailable, VIN organises accommodation close-by in a hotel or different hostel. During your stay at the host family or monastery/nunnery, your sleeping arrangements may be private to sharing basis. Bathroom and toilet facilities are shared with your host family or monks/ nuns. Hygiene standards vary from family to family/place to place. Sometimes it is very basic, and hot water might only be available. We kindly ask volunteers to be flexible and be prepared to cope with non-western standards.
🍲 Food
In regards to food, volunteers will receive three meals a day, in Nepali standard. The main dishes are rice-based such as daal bhat (lentil soup and rice), vegetables and curries are staple foods. Nepalese people rarely eat meat or fish and have a mainly vegetarian diet. Eating bread is also uncommon. Nepalese food is high in carbs. If you wish to supplement your foods with more variety (such as types of vegetables, eggs or fruits) then the cost lies with you but host families are happy to prepare the extra food items for you. In the host families and monasteries/ nunnery you will share their food and please inform us if have any specific allergies or dietary requirements.

🤝 Meeting point
On arrival day, each volunteer will be picked up at the airport by one of VIN’s staff members and then dropped off at the hostel or hotel.
After your induction, we will also drive you to your host family or monastery/nunnery. Once your placement is completed, VIN will also pick volunteers up and bring them to the head office in Kathmandu again (not the airport).
These three journeys are included in your fee. Any other personal travel is on your own.
