Teaching

Volunteers will be helping out with child care at an orphanage. Volunteers will get an opportunity to participate in a 3 days orientation seminar at our training center in Kathmandu. The seminar aims to provide basic knowledge to participants on street children, 'Does and Don’ts' issues, Nepali language, culture, dresses, food etc. The orientation seminar will start on the first Monday of each month. Nepalese schools open at 10am and close at 4pm. Volunteers will take 3-5 classes each days. Each class lasts 45 minutes. Saturdas are a holiday and Friday is a half-holiday in Nepal.

Volunteers will help train young guardians for the Borobudur World Heritage Site as well as generally raising awareness.

Volunteers will interact with children by organizing games and teaching them drawing, dancing and singing skills as well. The children have additional support needs. Working time starts around 8.30, until 11 in the morning and around 1.30 until 4.30 in the afternoon. In the evening, volunteers will join intercultural lessons such as Vietnamese lessons, and studying.

SOS Village is an school which houses orphaned children. Volunteers will be helping the teachers with classes and will also take English classes on their own. The project is also designed to give the children an insight into other cultures and discover new topics of interest.
