If you want to spend some time volunteer teaching in Nepal, but cannot find time to go for a whole month, you may be interested in our 2 Week Specials. These are short term community, care or teaching projects. We provide additional supervision and activities - evening meals, shows and weekend trips - for the duration of the project, as well as all the normal services. These are a fantastic way to gain work-experience and enhance your CV.

Short-Term Voluntary Work-Experience Placements
We have 2 Week Special project available in every year

Teaching work: Annal Jyoti School is a secondary school for children from 3 to 16 years. So, you can choose which age group you prefer for teaching. As a teacher, you can teach them English language conversation, vocabulary or english writing skills. Or you can teach maths, science or other related subjects. The main thing is that students will get opportunity to interact with you. You can speak about your culture, environment and diversities of your place. You can even bring the teaching aids to facilitate in teaching. You can go with arts and drawing, you can teach about music and dance, even sporting knowledge and skills are fine to talk with students.

Other voluntary works
1. Care & Community work
This project gives you the opportunity to make a significant difference in other people's lives as well as your own. You will learn about Nepal’s culture as you explore and get to know different areas of Nepal. You will be hosted by our school and you can have enough time to mix with Nepalse way of life.
Volunteers will spend two weeks working in an orphanage or Montessori school, renovating and decorating the building in the mornings and playing with/caring for the children in the afternoons. By putting in a new floor or painting a mural on a neglected wall, you will be making a valuable and lasting contribution to the orphanage.
Volunteers can also become part of a small friendly community. In the mornings you will be working on a community project, helping to paint and renovate a local school.
Wherever you volunteer you will leave a lasting impression on the children and community by giving them the extra attention, love, and care that is lacking in their daily lives.
You will spend your time split between playing with and caring for the children in the mornings and renovating and redecorating a kindergarten in the afternoon.
Although this project is relatively short, it gives you the opportunity to make a significant difference in other people’s lives as well as your own.

2. Community Building
If you want to get your hands dirty and see physical results from a short placement overseas, our community building project may be the project for you. On this project volunteers will get involved in building cinder block homes for the less fortunate residents of the nearby community.
Within the village and surrounding areas many families live in inadequate accommodation. This project enables volunteers to play a key role in the building of new better quality homes, making the community comfortable and safe place to live. Daily activities include digging foundations, mixing and pouring cement, building a roof, or putting the finishing coat of paint on the completed house.
