Volunteer Society Nepal : The best experience for volunteers, the best value for Nepal.
Noa teaching volunteering work in Nepal. Noa decided to take a break from university to explore new experiences and work on personal growth. She chose Nepal as her destination, drawn in by the unique culture and people. From the moment she arrived, Noa was enamoured with the place and the kindness of the locals who welcomed her with open arms. She quickly found her place as a volunteer, working with children at a local school and helping out at a women’s centre.
Since arriving, Noa has been embraced by the locals, who have been generous with their time and energy in teaching her about the Nepali way of life. From learning the language to understanding local customs, Noa has been fully immersed in this new environment and has already formed deep connections with the people she has met.
One of the ways that Noa has been able to give back to the community is through volunteering with children at a local school. She has been struck by the curiosity and eagerness to learn that the children exhibit, and has found the experience of working with them to be incredibly rewarding. Additionally, Noa has also been volunteering at a women’s centre, where she has been able to connect with and learn from women in the community.
As Noa looks ahead to the next three months of her gap year, she feels extremely fortunate to be able to continue her journey in Nepal. She is excited to continue learning from the people she meets and to deepen her understanding of Nepali culture. Above all, she is grateful for the pure souls that she has encountered on this journey and the opportunity to make a difference in their lives.
Teaching Volunteering Nepal: Volunteers either train, teach or assist in teaching at primary or secondary schools in Kathmandu, Pokhara or in small villages in the mountains. Volunteers spend up to 6 hours a day at the school. Depending on your experience you may:
Teaching Volunteering Nepal: In the beginning, you will work closely with the Principal of the school. You will establish where there is the most need for teacher training and support. From here you can use your own initiative to build a framework for providing teacher training. You will spend up to 6 hours a day at the school and conducting your work in an office. Overall, you will be responsible for training teachers, sitting in with lessons and conducting showcase lessons in your preferred subject. If you have 2 months or more to spend at the school then you can help plan the subject curriculum for the term or year. We like to encourage you to bring new and innovative teaching methods to the classrooms. They help the school determine what resources are needed and how to get hold of them.
Teaching Volunteering Nepal: As a teacher, you look at where the need is most in terms of teaching and step in where is needed. Sometimes there are not enough teachers and you will teach a class yourself. It is also possible that the teacher is there and you will teach the class together. The teacher can learn from your teaching methodologies by observing and joining the teaching.
Teaching Volunteering Nepal: As an assistant, you will work alongside a local teacher to help with all the subjects. We encourage you to think of creative ways to help teach the children, for example, to bring in new teaching resources. The age of the children varies from 4 to 16 years. You can decide which age group you like to assist.
