Teaching Sports in a school - In this placements volunteers with sports and recreation knowledge will participate in a standard teaching English or orphanage home placement but can offer their sports skills and knowledge to the students. The Nepali school system is examination based and often lacks the sorts of fun and games that Western students are used to. These kind of activities allow for students to be active and enjoy while they are learning.

In our teaching
placements you will teach in either a private or government school.
The children will usually be aged between about 4 and 18. Their
levels will vary according to age and may also differ depending on
whether you teach in a private college or government school. The
children attending private school are taught six of their classes in
English and one in Nepali while in the government school students
learn six of their classes in Nepali and only one in English. Also,
English levels will vary if you are teaching in a village school or
in Kathmandu. If you are teaching in a school you will live nearby
in a host family, usually with children or a teacher from your
school.

monks. The young monks are sent to the monasteries to receive a
better education and life but as some monasteries are home to as
many as 50 to 100 hundred children, and more often than not there
are not enough staff to care for them all properly, they miss out on
the individual care they would receive in the home. Often their day
to day health and diet is not good. You will not only help the
monks with learning English, but you will help them with day to day
health and hygiene skills they will keep for life. You may also
participate in their morning prayer sessions and Tibetan language
lessons.
The
home stay and cultural exchange programs are for those wanting to do
a short term placement of up to one month. You will live in a
traditional Nepali family and exchange elements of your country’s
culture with your host family. In the village, the culture is very
rich, and family, food, religion and tradition are all an important
part of everyday life. In the beginning, Nepali village life may
seem backward compared to life in the west, but volunteers learn so
much about living a different, more simple way of life. In the
home stay and cultural exchange programs, the volunteer will become
immersed in family life and may choose to assist with cooking,
cleaning, caring for children, working in the fields, or any other
necessary task. 
will either live
with the children in separate quarters or in a host family nearby
the orphanage home. You can play games and sports with the children
or dancing and singing. You will have a lot of freedom in the
Orphanage home placements. The children attend school during the
day, so they often need help with their homework in the mornings and
evenings.
There are many environmental issues that our volunteers can help
with in Nepal. Many schools and surrounding areas desperately need
re-vegetation and volunteers can help to develop these areas.
Often,volunteers in environmental placements also teach in a local
school or orphanage and will also live in a local host family.
Some projects you might take part in are, planting gardens, trees,
teaching local people about waste management and recycling, and
building and maintaining a toilet.
