First it
is necessary to stand on your own two feet. But the minute a man
finds himself in that position, the next thing he should do is
reach out his arms.

Teaching English in School /
Village Center
In this program volunteers are placed in local
schools to teach conversational English and reading classes to
Nepali children. It is our goal to ensure that the children of
Nepal are able to advance their practical written and verbal
English language skills. In Nepal, English is becoming more and
more of a required skill for job placement, educational
advancement and future success. Schools in Nepal often lack in
funding and resources. Class size can range from 10 to 80
students. School runs from Sunday to Friday with Saturday off,
students are between 4 and 16 years of age. To teach English at
a Nepali school you don't need to have formal teaching
qualifications. You will need a good command of written and
spoken English, plenty of enthusiasm and a lot of patience.
Festivals, exams, holidays and strikes disrupt the teaching
schedule at various times throughout the year. We ask that
volunteers in the teaching program have a second choice of
program for these times. You may also like to consider teaching
in an informal setting within the orphanage program where many
children need additional assistance with school work.
