WOPAN - Volunteer and Internship Opportunities in Nepal

  Nepal

Kathmandu,  Pokhara

Description: Teaching English program is challenging and rewarding fun. Normally in Nepal, a class hosts 25-50 students with ages between 6-14 years. School hour ranges from 10 am - 4 pm, where each class lasts for 45 minutes. As an English teacher you will be equipped with a handful of chalk, scheduled English book, and blackboard for teaching English.

As English became a second language in Nepal and the country wants her young generation to stand out in international competition, your small effort in teaching will have great value in Nepal. Besides teaching simple English, you will be involved in organizing games, sanitation, health education and other help that the school might request.

Highlights: Many travelers and volunteers alike choose Asia, Africa, and South America as their location for exploration because these are such beautiful, diverse, and unique continents. With such fantastic sights, Asia is the perfect destination for adventure-seekers, nature-lovers, and eager volunteers. With WOPAN, you will find yourself in a whole new world - a local village or native town where you may be the only foreigner.

Qualifications: No experience or English training is needed to join volunteer projects. Volunteer needs to be fluent in English. However, for the internship placements, we expect CV, statement of internship objective. Health placement requires proof as a medical student, registered nurse or health professional.

Volunteers will be placed with a Nepali family. The host family will live no more than a half hour walk or drive from the school. Volunteers will teach at the local school for 2 to 6 hours each day, six days a week, with a break on Saturdays.
