WORK CONTENT:

We work at a number of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in the districts of Kathmandu and Lalitpur. These organisations are dedicated to improving the quality of life for the children and enhancing their outlook for the future. You can also become a part of this amazing goal.

Your work will usually take place before and after school hours, because from 10 am to 3 pm, the children will be at school. This means that the majority of your work will take place before or after the school day. Your working day will usually start at around 6.30  - you'll help the children to eat their breakfast and prepare for school. You'll also accompany the children to school safely.

For the time that they are at school, you can use this to take part in some sightseeing or simply to plan your activities at the Orphanage for later on in the day. The children will usually return home at about 3 pm. During this time, you can help them with their homework as well as teach them some additional English.

If you have some initiative, you could set up an after school club with fun activities such as games, drama, art or anything else that’s creative and will engage their attention and their minds Then, it will be dinner time. You may be required to help prepare the food in the kitchen as well.

Because we work with a range of orphanages, the age ranges of the children is likely to vary significantly. You are likely to work with not only young children (aged from 2 to 12) but often with teenagers up to the age of 18 years old who also live at the orphanage.

Depending on the length of your placement, it’s likely that you will be placed at one or perhaps a variety of orphanages.
