The experience

Namaste!
I'm Prashna. I work as a social worker here in Pokhara. As a child I did not have many opportunities and been raised in an orphanage made the difference in my life. Due to the kindness that was shown to me, I wanted to give back to my community and help children in the same situation, giving them a chance to have a different life. For this reason, I started this organization

Program Details

At the moment, we have 9 school children in our or orphanage. They go to the school every day from 9:30am to 3:30pm.
Initially, your job will consist in helping them before and after school with their homework. As they usually finish their homework quite quickly, you will have time to play and have fun with them. They love coloring in and playing ping pong, for example but you can be creative. Come and share with us what you good at! What are your super powers? In addition, we also will appreciate your help with other activities around the house. We are a big family so we all have our role in cleaning, washing dishes and doing some cooking prep (I am sure you will love taking part in making the best Dal Bhat in town!-rated by our volunteers)

Activities & Shift

The volunteers wake up like 8 am in the morning they become fresh and after that they will have a tea/coffee and some biscuits or bread after that their work begins with helping the children with their studies or helping in the kitchen for preparing the morning meal.
