Description

Multi Explorer Nepal invites overseas volunteers to Nepal - exploring this beautiful Himalayan country, serving children women and communities while embarking on this meaningful journey of a lifetime. Multi Explorer Nepal and you could be working at vitally-important projects at children's homes. As a volunteer in Nepal you'll be helping to provide a safe and healthy environment for some of the most underprivileged children in Nepal.
As an orphanage volunteer in Nepal, you will teach the basics of the English language and help orphans with life-skills, health education, games, and by drawing and painting with the children. By working with orphaned children, you will be molding the young minds of talented, blossoming, charming children. The general role of the volunteer will be to act as an older sibling: to care for, look after and encourage the children. As a volunteer you may also organize tours, games, drawing classes, singing, dancing, painting and other activities that children enjoy. Volunteers will be placed either in orphanages or host families near to the orphanages, where they will spend most of their time with the children, assisting them in their day-to-day routines. The children are mostly between the ages of two and fifteen and have a basic understanding of English.
