Volunteer in Orphanages in Nepal

Outline of a typical stay in Nepal

This volunteer period is divided into two phases; Orientation and Placement. For those doing the optional side trips there is also a recreational phase.

Orientation Phase: Four days spent in the region of Kathmandu and the countryside of the Kathmandu Valley, staying in family home-stays. Each morning you will work on basic Nepali language skills and then explore the Kathmandu Valley with all its amazing sights, great monuments and rich cultural heritage.

Placement Phase: You should now be feeling pretty well equipped to start your volunteering placement period. The locations and roles of volunteers will vary and will be based on the most suitable, available placement, as well as the attributes and preferences of the volunteer. The placements themselves will, for the most part, be individual ones, however the living quarters provided during this period are usually shared with other GVI volunteers.
