Home-stay and Teaching in Community School

This is a cultural exchange program which provides an opportunity to learn about all aspects of Nepali life, culture, food and people. Volunteers will be placed with a Nepali family in a small rural village for the duration of their stay. Participants share their own culture, customs, and information about the family with the host families and community. They can become a member of the household and can participate in all activities if they wish.Nepal is a place of culture and temple. Most of the local festivals take place August to December. In this particular time, the volunteer may feel the exciting experience. Volunteers will be responsible for teaching English in Nepal for 2 to 3 hours each day, six days a week. Most of the students range in age from 6 to 13. In Nepal, each school has its own English teachers who assist our volunteers with teaching methods, offer advice on solving communication barriers, and provide suitable curricula for the classroom. English teaching volunteers do not have to be native English speakers. The schools in Nepal are closed during the holidays and exam periods. During these times, VCN will organize alternative tasks for our volunteers to do, such as assisting in our clubs, teaching English to local youths, etc.Government school children will be 6 to 16 years of age and the number of students per class can range from 10 to 70. Volunteers will also participate using their time teaching children before and after school hour.
