Launch of Volunteer Community

We have always felt that the best recommendation we can give to you about VSN is from the people who have already been here and experienced it for themselves. This is why we have launched our community pages.

On these pages you can find email addresses to contact people from all around the world who have worked on a variety of our projects. And if you have a Facebook account you can also join our Facebook group – ‘Volunteer Society Nepal: Official Facebook Group’. This is an easy way for people to upload photos, share stories and post questions they may have about VSN.

We hope you enjoy having a look round and it gives you an ever better feel of what VSN is like for our volunteers.

New women’s group established in Kathmandu

Jason Carney from Canada has been with VSN in Pepsi Cola, Kathmandu for the last 3 months. He came to us as an expert in grant and proposal writing and has been very helpful in sourcing fund raising possibilities in Nepal. Jason has also established a new women’s group here in Pepsi-Cola. After discussions with the women and other organisers he has set up skills training, legal training and English lessons for over 20 women in the area. The women are delighted to have this opportunity to gain some independence. If you would be interested in continuing Jason’s good work when he leaves us in Jan 2010 then please get in touch!

To speak to Jason about his work please see our Community Page.
