NEPAL

Nepal - Community Development, exciting new placements available: Kathmandu, the Himalayan foothills and Chitwan jungle

IT Teacher Urgent Placement Sought, although there are a range of opportunities. 

We have an excellent partnership with a Christian Fellowship in Kathmandu, Nepal. Pastor David Prasain has opened his home to a group of orphans and welcomes volunteers to ‘live in’ (volunteer separate accommodation floor, all well managed) and assist him and his wife Maryah, and join the small fellowship as they worship in their church, rebuilt after the 2015 earthquake with help from previous volunteers. Pastor David also helps to lead a network Nepali churches. Recent visits to David have resulted in a range of volunteering opportunities opening up through his ministry and personal contacts in the city, in the Himalayan foothills and in the jungle villages. The various projects, which are described in more detail and illustrated with photos, can be accessed in the 'View all opportunities' page. Also included are details of the cost, answers to frequently asked questions and how to apply.

Such development is not always straightforward and will be challenging.
