Description: Orphanage Work

In lesser developed countries such as Nepal, thousands upon thousands of children are orphans, with no real home, no family and no opportunity to get an education. Through the Alliance Nepal Premier orphanage work program, volunteers will be placed in an orphanage/care house where they will assist children in their day to day routine. The general role of the volunteer will be to act as an older sibling to the children. What volunteers do specifically in each orphanage varies depending on where they are placed and the requirements at the time of the placement. However examples of work include; helping teach the children and assisting with tuition of general life skills through participating in administrative chores, health education, games, and by drawing and painting with the children. By volunteering for Alliance Nepal's orphanage work program, volunteers help to mold and shape the young minds of talented, charming and grateful child.

Qualifications: Alliance Nepal requires volunteers Now! Alliance Nepal has a wide range of volunteering opportunities available in teaching English, orphanage work, medical elective and remote health post work in both urban and rural Nepal.

* Teaching English
More than 80% of the children from Nepal's villages and cities are unable to access a good educational system. This is due to a lack of financial and physical resources as well as the remote mountain geography of the country. Volunteers participating in the Nepal Premier Teaching English program will teach English at a Nepali public or private school, depending on the need for volunteers when you are in the country. Volunteers can also assist with creating low-cost teaching materials for the school and help organize health check-ups for students. Teaching English volunteers are more than welcome to participate in other school activities such as sports or sanitation programs while they work at the school. Many volunteers teach English in the mornings before arranging sports, drama and song in the afternoon.

N.B. Volunteers DO NOT need to be a qualified or experienced teacher.
