Nepal has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the most beautiful countries in the world; however, it is still a developing country where more than 40% of the total population lives below the most basic poverty line.

Thousands of children are deprived of educational opportunities in Nepal because of many social issues and the lack of schooling opportunities. You do not need any formal teacher training or experience to participate, but whatever experience you do have will be taken into account when arranging your day-to-day activities. More experienced teachers may take a class on their own, whereas less experienced volunteers will assist qualified teachers and may help individuals who require a little more personal attention. Either way, your main responsibility will be teaching English. We encourage volunteers to come equipped to teach songs, dances, and other activities, which will promote increased vocabulary among the students regardless of their initial ability.
