Would you like Volunteer at the 'Everest Childrens Home Nepal'?

Why Volunteer in Nepal?

Nepal is a beautiful country with an unmatchable landscape. The people are friendly and welcoming and have a rich and vibrant culture. Unfortunately, Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world. Many of its people are in need of assistance. 24 percent of the population are living on less than US$1 per day and 41 percent of the population is undernourished.

Children in Nepal are particularly vulnerable. Annually more than 12,000 women and children are trafficked to India to work as domestic workers and in brothels. There are reports of over 40,000 child labourers and thousands of Orphans in Nepal. Many these children are living and working in dangerous situations and deprived of their most basic human rights.

Nepal is the perfect setting for volunteering. A small amount of time and money can go a long way towards protecting and providing for an orphan child. The Everest Children’s Home is an affordable option where you can rest assured your volunteering fees go directly towards providing a nutritious diet, education, shelter and care for twelve needy children.

What will I be doing during my volunteer program?

What you do during your time at the Everest Children's Home is really up to you. We have had volunteers who spent time building a chicken coop, fixing bathrooms, working in the garden, helping the children with English and Maths homework and others who preferred to spend their time playing with the children. We can create a program based on your interests. You do not need special skills to volunteer with us. The children at Everest Children’s Home are in of need love and attention more then anything.

What will I be doing during my time off?

Six days a week the children attend school. Volunteers are free to spend their time during school hours enjoying the many interesting attractions Pokhara has to offer. We can help you to arrange a variety of tourist activities, such as:

	Elephant Safari in Chitwan National Park
	Paragliding from Sarangkot
	Trekking
	Boating on Fewa Lake
	Visits to the Peace pagoda, Bat Cave, Tibetan refugee camp, local monasteries, temples and museums
	Pony treks
	White water rafting
	Bike Riding
	Motorcycle riding

What do the program fees cover?

For many volunteers, arrival at Kathmandu airport can be a culture shock. We will arrange for you to be picked up at the airport and taken to a hotel. If you are leaving Nepal at the end of your program we will organise airport drop off.

We will organise two nights accommodation in Kathmandu on your arrival and departure. During your time in Pokhara you have the option of staying in a room at the Eco-Traveler's Lodge or in your own room at the Everest Children's Home.

Transport to and from Kathmandu at the beginning and end of the volunteer period will be arranged via bus.

While volunteering in Pokhara you will be provided with two meals a day. We try our best to provide delicious and nutritious meals for our volunteers although, note that meals will be simple Nepalese vegetarian meals. Please budget accordingly if you do not wish to eat vegetarian cuisine for the duration of your program. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the home.

We are on site to provide you with 24 hr support and assistance.

Once your food, accommodation and travel cost have been covered any remaining fees are used to pay for the children's education, housing, clothing, and food.
