Orphanage Volunteering in Kathmandu, Nepal

Summary
Volunteer at an orphanage in the capital city Kathmandu.

Program Description
The most valuable activity sought by orphanages is for Volunteers to teach English to the kids. Books are often scarce at orphanages, but the permanent English teacher usually can provide you with a standard lesson book to follow.

Depending on your own skills and interests, though, you can also teach songs, music, dance, cooking, or any number of activities, and generally just spend quality time with the children.

Some orphanages can house volunteers. Or, you can stay with a local host family and work at the orphanage during the day/evening.

Most orphanages also welcome assistance from Volunteers for the organizations themselves. This involves working with staff to develop marketing, fundraising, and program strategies for the orphanage.
