Project Description
Volunteering to Learn is a non-profit, non-governmental organization providing rich volunteer and learning experiences in Nepal.
Our organization builds on the belief that mutual understanding is at the heart of improved relations across communities, cultures, nations, and religions. Through our own experiences both in community organizing in Nepal and with visitors from around the world, we’ve learned that personal encounters and conversations among people working together create some of the best opportunities for mutual understanding.
Our goal is to provide volunteering opportunities in Nepal that make it possible for both hosts and visitors to learn. Volunteers gain a sense of satisfaction from contributing to Nepalese communities, but they also learn language and gain insights into culture, ecology, history and geography. Host families and communities benefit from enthusiastic helpers, teachers, and organizers, but they also learn about diverse cultures and perspectives that help them see beyond stereotypes.
Whatever your interests – language, culture, economics, agriculture, forestry, flora and fauna, history, sustainability, appropriate technology, community organization, leadership, entrepreneurship, children, women, human rights – we can place you with organizations, communities and families that will enrich your understanding of Nepal while also giving you opportunities to learn more specific skills and knowledge.

Project Summary
During the orientation and training period, volunteers will be participating in: 2 hours basic Nepali language class per day; Cultural information/safety issues; Volunteers’ interests, programs & opportunities, and placement information and Sightseeing in Kathmandu.
Types of activities, roles and working hours will depend upon the area of volunteer work. Generally, volunteers will work from 15 to 25 hours per week with the opportunity to work more if they prefer.
Volunteers either stay at a home with local host families or, if working in an orphanage, they often stay in the orphanage.
Nepali people are extremely hospitable and volunteers will be well looked after, however the accommodation will be typically Nepali and therefore basic by Western standards. All of our homestay families have lots of previous experience in looking after volunteers.
