Volunteering at Ramkot
Voluntary work is one of the most worthwhile activities you can get involved in, whether it is in a developed or a developing country. Throughout the world, there are vast numbers of children who neglected, and in need of love, care and affection.
Tuhura Home Nepal relies heavily on volunteers to continue providing for the children. Our volunteer program offers volunteers an opportunity to really make a difference to children who would otherwise have little or no mental stimulation in their lives.
Volunteering at Tuhura Home Nepal’s day care centre, you will be working with under-privileged children of different ages. You will help with a variety of educational and social enrichment activities such as arts and crafts, games and songs, stimulate new ideas to interest young children in learning.
Volunteers don't need to be qualified or have had previous experience. The only qualities that the volunteer needs to possess are compassion for fellow human beings and a desire to improve the lives of those less fortunate than their own.
Any encouragement you can offer goes a long way towards building a child's self esteem and confidence. It may be that you can spend your afternoon helping the older children with their homework, teaching English, computer skills or even building a classroom.
Spending as little as two weeks working at Tuhura Home Nepal a volunteer can make a significant, lasting and positive impact on the lives of the local children and the village community.
Tuhura Home Nepal supports the local village’s rural development. We also look for volunteers interested in assisting the villagers with construction projects, improving village facilities and infrastructure.
