About This Project
Volunteers support English classes in a public school, Buddhist monastery or childcare setting. Public-school classes typically have 20 to 35 students.
Teaching usually takes place for two to three hours per day, Sunday to Friday. Depending on local needs, volunteers may also help train teachers or support activities such as games, drawing, music, health education, computing and art.
Schools follow an established English curriculum while welcoming suitable lesson ideas and teaching methods from volunteers.
Requirements
Participants must be at least 18 years old and fluent in English. Child-safeguarding requirements and role boundaries must be confirmed with the host before placement.

Accommodation
The host organization arranges accommodation and meals during the placement. Volunteers stay with a host family, usually sharing a room and bathroom facilities with other volunteers. Three local or continental-style meals are provided each day. Living with a host family offers an opportunity to experience daily life in Nepal and learn about local cooking.
Arrival Instructions
Kathmandu offers many cultural sites to explore outside program hours, including Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath, Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa and the Garden of Dreams. Exact arrival and local transport instructions must be confirmed with the host before travel.
Legacy Program Cost Details
The legacy source states that accommodation, meals and airport pickup are included during the placement. The host must confirm current prices and inclusions before sending an offer.
Application and Selection Process
