Description
This tour has been designed for mature volunteers who are young at heart and ready for their next adventure! During the 10 day tour volunteers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a developing country, experience another culture and contribute to the development of education in local communities in Nepal. The tour is a shorter and more intense experience than our standard program with the additional benefits of pre-organised transportation, a local translator, as well as village and cultural tours.
With no more than 11 other volunteers this tour will offer an intimate experience, so you will be able to get to know your peers as well.
Highlights
Volunteers have the opportunity to participate within a variety of projects. Volunteers will assist by caring and organizing activities for children, and teaching basic English.
