Type of Placement- Working in an Orphanage
Description of Duties- Spend your days from the time you get up surrounded by children from the ages of 9 months to teenagers. Helping the house mum get them to be ready for school or cooking, cleaning, helping with homework and generally playing games with them. Everything you would expect to do for a younger brother or sister. But it’s not always hard work and expect to sit in the sun watching the children play or strolling to the park where they love to go. And if you feel real confident try teaching those English or any other subject that you’re good at. The main duty to perform here is to see that the children have a good time under your care as most have suffered in their young lives before coming to the orphanage.
Placement Location- One of our orphanage is based in Pokhara but we work with many others around the country. The Innocent Children’s Home is situated In the tourist town of Pokhara one of the most beautiful places in all Nepal. Set by the Fewa Lake and surrounded by the Annapurna mountain range (one of the best trekking routes in the world) not only here you will experience the pleasure of volunteering but also try white water rafting, trekking, or paragliding. Or you fancy something quieter then sit by the lake or take some meditation with one of the local gurus.
Accommodation- This will generally be a room in the orphanage itself where you truly get to experience the life and workings of the orphanage. You may have to share a room but this will be only if you are ok with it. Standard Nepalese cooking will be provided and you will get to feel part of the family by living close with the children.
