Our Nepal Child Care Programme is Designed to leave a lasting impact on the volunteers who join, as well as the young Nepalese lives who benefit from the program.
We are looking for Adventurous spirits who want to not only see the world but give back to it. Our volunteers get to experience the extraordinary beauty of Nepal, take part in a host of fun activities, and have the opportunity to make a REAL difference for those who need it most.
We invite you to be a part of the solution that drives the betterment of the next generation. You will be able to inspire these children and those who work with them on a daily basis to reach ever higher. As you inspire others, so are you inspired. The time you spend can be marked in days or weeks. The lasting positive impact that YOU can have on a community is beyond measure. As you inspire others, so are you inspired.
