Due to a lack of education and properly trained teachers, the situation of underdeveloped countries like Nepal is more delicate. To educate the Nepali youth we have devised the Volunteer Teaching Program , which includes various projects such as Teacher Development and English Teaching for public schools ad Buddhist monasteries. English is an international language and is regarded as an important factor to compete and succeed in the global job market. Students at community/public schools lack proficiency in English, which can be considered as a reason for their lack of prospects. The teaching volunteers are responsible for teaching students and teachers at community and public schools, to improve their English proficiency. The English Teaching project allows children to practice their spoken English skills and develop proficiency in the English language, through which they can access other literature in the internet world. Nepal is an underdeveloped country. Years of political conflict, poverty and lack of education have prevented the Nepalese people from getting the chances they deserve. At the Friendship Foundation Nepal (FFN), we believe it s our responsibility to help and try to improve those conditions, but improvements take time. To better a society you must first live in it. In order to change a country s conditions you must first experience those conditions firsthand. Only after experiencing them you can share your knowledge through teaching, sharing ad interacting, which can in turn have a lasting effect on the local population. You might discover that living with a local family and adjusting to the Nepali lifestyle will have a lasting effect on you too.

Work: Mainly, the volunteer will be teaching English to children between 6 and 15 years of age. However, since schools are always in need of teachers, it s possible for the volunteer to also teach Math, Science and Computer Science. In Nepal school goes from 10 am to 4 pm. The volunteer will teach 3-5 classes each day, with each class lasting 45 minutes. Saturdays are holidays, and Fridays are half-holidays. When not in school, you ll share your everyday life with the host family.

Accomodation and food: You will live with a Nepali family close to the school, and experience their hospitality, friendliness and immerse yourself in their unique lifestyle. You ll be welcomed as a member of the family and of the local community. At least one member of the family will speak English. Nepali houses are simple, with basic facilities (squat toilet, shower, kitchen, etc). Most families DO NOT have hot showers, but most of them have western style toilets. Just don t expect to find the same facilities as in your home country. You ll get your ow room and the family will respect your privacy. In order to make the most of your experience in Nepal, we encourage to interact and socialize as much as possible with your host family ad take part in their daily activities. You ll find cities to be more similar to your country, while in the countryside many Nepal is grow their own vegetables and typically ow cows, buffalos, goats or chickens. You will be served food twice a day: breakfast around 9-10 am and diner around 7-8 pm. You ll soon realize that tea is the most popular beverage in Nepal: whenever you visit a family you ll be offered a cup.
