Volunteering in Nepal – Chris Petrie,
I volunteered in Nepal with VSN from 16th Dec 2009 to 10th Feb 2010 in a Orphanage and 2 Schools in Pokhara.
My experience was both rewarding and for-filling. VSN were very flexible to cater towards what I wanted and did their best to make my stay here as rewarding as possible. VSN have been honest to me and to the other volunteers I have been around while here. The VSN families based in Kathmandu are very friendly and invite you into their families and home upon your arrival. While I was here I experienced a Nepali wedding of Surgandha’s neice which I felt very privalledged to attend. The openess and sharing of their family lives is something I was both surprised and impressed about.
My placements forfilled all my goals for volunteering in Nepal. I wanted to make some positive experiences for where-ever I volunteered and experience the Nepalese way of life. I had the chance to visit all the places I wanted to whilst volunteering. The food and accomodation was above my what I thought I might get. I came away with many memories of Nepal that I will never forget.
I fully recommend VSN as an organization and volunteering in Nepal as an excellent experience.

Experience in fundraising?
Volunteer Society Nepal is always on the look out for experienced fund raisers, grant writers and NGO developers to help us improve the good works of our two organisations: Volunteer Society Nepal and The Everest Foundation, a charity focusing on providing for disadvantaged women and children in Nepal. In Kathmandu we have a small office with a computer and internet access for volunteers to use if they want to look into improving our fund raising platforms.
If you would like to know more about these opportunities then please feel free to contact the organisation directly or some of our past fund raising volunteers, Jason Carney, Holly Gee or Nick Tuppen through the Community Page.
