I arrived in Nepal knowing that my time here would at times be very challenging. I also hoped it would be very rewarding. It has been both.
After my weeks training, I had 7 weeks volunteering. I started in Syabru Besi (one of its many different spellings) in the Langtang Region but was not sure if I'd spend my full time there.
The town is at the end of the bus route so although it's in the mountains, it's not completely remote. There is also an internet café there but if you go there be prepared for it to be very slow and expensive.
When I first started there was another volunteer already there, which was a big help. I had no real teaching experience and it was nice to get an idea of what was going on and get eased into it gently before being left on my own.
Our main role there was to teach English in the library at the entrance to the town. We had a really good group of 4-7 kids aged around 12 that came before school. Their English was already pretty good and we were able to do some really good activities with them. There was meant to be an adult lesson during the day and up until the day before I arrived Mary had been teaching a couple of women and a man but during my time there I only ever had Ammar come. He was a soldier and I think was mostly self-taught so although his knowledge of the language was pretty good he needed conversation practice. For this it was good that there was just the one of him.
In the afternoon there was a mixed and varied crowd of kids. Apparently the week before I arrived there were a lot less. I'm not sure if word had spread that a new volunteer was coming or if it was just coincidence but my first day there were lots of kids that Mary had never seen before and they just kept on coming. Their English was very poor and I couldn’t even work out if they spoke Nepali or Tamang. It was very hard to keep them occupied for long and it was a great relief there were two of us.
As well as the teaching in the library there is a secondary school across the river that has had computers for just over a year. I was asked to help with the lessons but what I found was the loosest use of the work 'lesson' I have ever seen. The kids would run in and sit down in front of the machines then just do whatever they wanted. They were pretty much allowed to do anything apart from play games so during my first proper session I went round with the Windows CD and uninstalled the games but made sure Paint was installed. There was a typing tutor program to use or they used Word or Paint. If they didn’t feel like using these they would just randomly click on anything they found. So you would have lots of unwanted files, icons, shortcuts, copies of shortcuts etc. Between lessons I'd go round and tidy up the desktops. They did have a teacher but the only thing I ever saw her actually show them how to do was draw a house in Paint (not exactly a useful lifeskill). It also didn't help that her English wasn't very good so I found it hard to communicate with her. I'd spend most morning at the school then head back at their 1pm break fro the adult lesson at 2.
It would be a great help if someone had the time, knowledge and commitment to actually start proper lessons in the school. It would need to be properly planned with both the headmaster and the computer teacher being involved.
They have a great resource there that is currently being wasted.
After Mary left, things got more hectic in the afternoon classes, even though I had spent a lot of time planning (I really didn't dare to venture into these classes unprepared). The first week I was on my own was a real struggle. The group continued to get more varied with more of the very local children coming. There English was better as some of them went to the better primary school. Numbers still fluctuated.
I didn't know if I'd last the full 7 weeks up there but I was determined to not just quit when things got difficult. I'm glad I stuck it out for as long as I did. After nearly 2 weeks on my own Andrew arrived to join me.
Things were ok, carrying on as they had been, while there were two of us but, knowing we were having another volunteer come to join us and they would be left on there own, we decided to split the afternoon group into 2 classes. This worked surprisingly well on the first day but then numbers started dropping a lot and we sort of unofficially made it one group again. I think the numbers changing were partly due to exams coming up.
I decided that although I'd enjoyed my time there I'd like a change of scenery and get away from pure teaching. So I headed back to Kathandu at the same time as Andrew to move to the orphanage in Pokhara.
I came back from the mountains and after spending a couple of nights back in Kathmandu I went to Pokhara to work in one of the cities many orphanages. There are about 28 children there, with ages ranging from 4-13 (I think). 8 of these children go to school, including the 4 girls. There is a couple who live there with them and another woman that comes to cook for them.
The day I arrived was the first day of an English lesson for teenagers that was being started in the orphanage so I got stuck in and tried to establish what sort of level we would need to teach at.
As well as these teaching sessions at 4pm every day the routine consisted of teaching the children that aren't sponsored to go to school. They have a lesson at 10.10 and then another at 11.45, with a Nepali lesson in between. Then we were free from 12.30 while they had science and maths lessons.
My most enjoyable and rewarding time spent at the orphanage was outside of these classes. There were a few English story books there and I tried to get some of them reading them. With only classes in big groups and at very different levels, the children are not getting a lot of reading help. We also played out in the yard and generally gave the kids the affection they are not getting from other adults.
The orphanage has not been up and running for very long but hopefully we will continue to see improvements, both in the behavior and English of the kids, and in the property itself. The rooms get quite damp and the roof leaks and also makes the rooms very hot in the sun.
I wish I had had more time to really try to make a difference there but I'm also quite glad in a way that I 'm not there long term. It was hard enough leaving and having to say goodbye to the kids after only 2 weeks. I'm sure it would be a lot harder after a few months. They really are a great bunch.
Naomi and Damunda - Australia - 27th Oct 2007
Our volunteer period of three weeks began with three days of Nepali language classes, about 3 hours a day. The language classes were informative, and Krishna our teacher was excellent and endlessly patient. Realistically however three days of classes in no way prepares you to converse in Nepali and assist in teaching English. During this time, we also spent two days at a village just outside Kathmandu. This gave us a solid introduction into village life, and it was interesting to have our language lessons in the village and being able to use the Nepali – no matter if our host family could not understand a word we said due to our poor pronunciation!
From here, we were on the bus to Pokhara to our permanent placement in Nirmil Pokhari, a village about one – two hours (depending on conditions) bus rides from Pokhara. In Pokhara, due to the remoteness of the village, we had to wait about 4 hours for a bus to the village and finally arrived at about 7pm at night. It was a grueling 13 hours of travel and waiting around, but our family welcomed us with kindness and a hot meal.
Nirmil Pokhari is a beautiful village situated above the Pokhara valley. Our day consisted of waking up at about 6.00am to be at the resource center, about a ten-minute walk up a steep hill, at 7.00am. We taught between 5 – 20 kids, ageing from about two to eleven years old, for an hour and half. This was often a challenging experience, especially since we have had no prior teaching experience, and we were often grateful that there were two of us, since controlling and teaching children of varied ages and capabilities would have been otherwise impossible. Some children were responsive and genuinely interested in learning, while others were just there to play around. Although we came to teach English, we found in many cases it was a difficult task because we could not speak enough Nepali to properly instruct or convey what we meant in terms of activities and tasks. Nevertheless, we found the children were enthusiastic about the centre and loved coming there, which made opening the centre every morning worthwhile, especially when there would be kids waiting every morning without fail at the top of the hill for us.
During the day, we spent our time teaching English at the local government secondary school. Teaching at the school was an impossible task - the children were not at all interested in anything we had to say, and generally, if the teachers did not feel like teaching they would send us to their class. Often they would ask us to teach subjects such as Social Science; even though we explained numerous times that, we were unable to speak Nepali. Making the task harder was the outdated English textbooks, which contained numerous spelling and grammatical errors, and inaccurate information about different countries. Something INFO could consider is providing this school with more appropriate textbooks (we found some really interesting and colorful textbooks for about 65 Indian Rupees). We often left the school feeling frustrated because we were achieving little to nothing there and as were not provided with anything else to do during the day it was our only option to return there each day.
Our afternoons were spent 5 – 6.30pm at the Resource center again. This was by far the most productive part of our day. Only three students came each session, but they had excellent English skills, and this ability to properly communicate meant that we were able to teach them about more complex and advanced topics. The kids that attended this session were also two of the children from next door. Jeevan and Pradip made our experience in the village - they provided us with so much information, company, fun, and a real desire to learn and we will never ever forget them.
Our host family was also very kind, Laxman was always willing to help, and Sita provided us with delicious Dahl baht constantly.
One thing we would suggest if you go to this placement is take a mosquito net and maybe insect spray because we had a few problems with the world's largest spiders.
Overall, the placement in Nirmil Pokhari has its ups and downs. Leaving the resource centre, which will now stay closed until another volunteer arrives is disappointing, as the children do not have any continuity in their learning. The centre is well stocked with books – however they are aimed at kids with a far more advanced grasp of English. A great benefit would be to provide some simple children's books that would help them develop their English.

Wow! What an experience. I arrived in Katmandu, and instantly started exploring the city-which is busy with cars, motorcycles, people, cows, bicycles, and horns. Katmandu never sleeps it seemsJ. One of the first nights, all the volunteers were welcomed into Happy Home, where we ate Dal Bhaat for the first time, eating it traditionally, forming balls of rice and dal with our hands, and scooping it into our mouths. A little awkward for someone who has grown up being told not to eat with your hands-right? We all danced and had fun getting to know each other, and also got some insight on what the program, which we had signed up with to volunteer for, was really about. Everyone was so warm and welcoming.
We spent the first week learning all the Nepali that we could in the class with Rama, and practicing all that we could in the streets and at restaurants with the locals. It was so fun to be able to say even just one sentence correctly in a restaurant, at a roadside shop, or in our hotel at Cosmic. After this week, we were off to training in Dulikhill.
Dulikhill was amazing! INFO arranged us to meet up with a young man named Pashupati-what a character! He warmly welcomed us to his village, showed us around, and inquired about our lives. My buddy and I stayed in different houses, getting to experience 2 families. My family was great-so open to getting to know you, teach you about their culture and let you witness their everyday lives. I had 2 sisters, 1 brother, and a mom and dad. We all sat in one room and ate Dal Bhaat on the dirt floors, and then I shared pictures of my home and family with them, all while trying my best to use the Nepali I had learned. They really appreciate when try to speak their language-even if it is not perfect-and even if you only remember 2 words. Training left a great impression on me, and I was ready to be placed in a village to do my volunteering and to meet some more amazing people.
I was placed for one month in Shybrubensi, which is north of Kathmandu, in the Lang Tang region. The bus ride out there was killer, but once we got there and met our family, everything was great. We volunteered in a children's resource center, where kids came before school and after school to learn English and to play. We had the older kids in the mornings from 7-9am, and the younger kids in the evening from 4-6pm. We learned that we could do educational activities in the morning, which the older kids enjoyed and understood. However, in the evenings, there was too wide of a range in ages and abilities to have a "formal" educational lesson be successful. With this group, we adopted a more casual way of teaching and had a lot of fun teaching them things through activities and games. The kids are great, so alive and full of energy, eager to learn and show you their progress. It is crazy to think that these kids get up, at their own will, 3 hours before they have to go to school, just to get an extra 2 hour a day to learn something more. What dedication and respect they have for their education. I will definitely never forget what I felt while I was in Shybrubensi, nor what I learned from this experience.
The people who I met in the streets, at restaurants, in the village, at the resource center, on a hike, or just those who I exchanged a warm "Namaste!" with, will leave a print on my heart forever.
My Volunteer Experience.
Sarah Cooke, Australia. Placement at Nirmal Pokhari. 15th Nov 2007
My experience in Nepal with INFO has been absolutely amazing. I arrived by myself but four other volunteers arrived at the same time so we became friends and met often during my time in Nepal. We started with sight seeing around Kathmandu and a Nepali language course. Rama, my Nepali teacher, was fantastic. Not only did she teach us some basic Nepali she also gave us some much needed cultural knowledge. We then spent one night at a training village. I stayed with a very poor family so it was confronting and eye opening, a once in a lifetime experience. I then headed to Pokhara with the other volunteers. We had some free time there to relax and explore. Unfortunately, Saskia, the volunteer I was paired up with, and I became ill with food poisoning. We visited a great doctor, received anti-biotics and soon recovered. We then headed to our placement at Nirmal Pokhari. Nirmal Pokhari is a stunningly beautiful village at the top of a mountain. It has breathtaking views on the Pokhara valley and the Himalaya. The villagers are all very welcoming and respectful; we were greeted with cheerful 'namaste!'s wherever we ventured. The host family there were hospitable and loving. Sita, the host mother, is a fantastic cook and she makes sure you do not go hungry! There were approximately 25 students who frequented the resource centre for our lessons. They were energetic and enthusiastic! Saskia and I also taught at the local secondary school for a few hours most days. The teachers are very grateful to have volunteers come to help with their own, and the students, English pronunciation. The students were very curious and sometimes we felt like animals in the zoo, always observed with great interest. Overall the experience was fantastic. I recommend INFO Nepal to all travelers who have a passion for new, and sometimes challenging, experiences. What I have learnt and experienced here will stay with me forever.
