Summary
Volunteer at an orphanage

Program Description
The most valuable activity sought by orphanages is for Volunteers to teach English to the kids. Books are often scarce at orphanages, but the permanent English teacher usually can provide you with a standard lesson book to follow.

Depending on your own skills and interests, though, you can also teach songs, music, dance, cooking, or any number of activities, and generally just spend quality time with the children.

Some orphanages can house volunteers. Or, you can stay with a local host family and work at the orphanage during the day/evening.

Most orphanages also welcome assistance from Volunteers for the organizations themselves. This involves working with staff to develop marketing, fundraising, and program strategies for the orphanage.

Skill/Qualification
There is no specific qualification needed to join the orphanage volunteer project in Nepal . However, volunteers are expected to be flexible and patience. You should have passion and love for orphans.

Volunteers responsibilities:
As a volunteer in the orphanage project in Nepal , you will teach English (3-4 hours a day) in the orphanage or school (when the kids go to schools during the day). You will help kids to stay clean by helping them in brushing teeth, shower, and personal hygiene. In free time, mostly in evening, you organize games, drawing, singing, dancing, and other creative education and extra curricular activities. In the evening time, you will help kids to do homework, monitor academic progress, and make sure kids complete next day's homework. If you do not want to teach in the school during day time, then you can offer to take care of the children who stay at the orphanage (who can not go to school). Your help is also expected in dressing of kids, food distribution, kitchen, garden, cleaning and administrative work.
