We place volunteers in rural elementary schools an hour outside of
Kathmandu to assist the local teachers with their English classes and
other subjects. These volunteers are able to experience living in rural
villages and will observe the true meaning of "community." As
a volunteer with our Teach English Program, you will have the
opportunity to give these children the education and support
they need and deserve.
Most of our schools welcome volunteers who
want to get involved in other aspects of school life, or run
extra-curricular activities and after-school clubs. Alongside
your conversational English classes you could help with Sports.
You can teach football, cricket and volleyball. Everyone enjoys
having a volunteer who is keen to teach English or other
subjects in the morning
then get involved with arranging sports, drama and song in the
afternoon.
In this program you will be placed in a local school to teach
Nepali children to speak, read and write English. You do not
need any formal training for this program. We can place you in a
school with text books or in a school with little info structure
depending on what you personally are looking for. This is a very
challenging program with amazing rewards. You will stay with a
local family who lives close to your school during this program.
The schools do not have much for you to work with, you will
basically be teaching in a bare room with only a chalk board. We
recommend you bring along any teaching supplies you feel will
help. Large book stores have a great selection of teaching
supplies including Q cards and short stories with related
questions placed on cards for convenient travel. It is greatly
appreciated if you are able to leave any teaching supplies at
your school.
As a volunteer you will be:
Teaching
and tutoring children in English and math.
Developing
a creative environment for children through crafts, games and sports.
Assisting
with creating low-cost teaching material.
Organizing
health check-ups for students, creating hygiene awareness.

The children in the Nepal begin learning English in grade four in our
village school and grade one in private school, so it's not a surprise that most of the
student have basic level of English. The benefits of learning English from a
native speaker are inspiring for the young children.
