AmeriSpan offers Volunteer placements in Nepal

While Nepali is the official language and English is spoken in government and office settings, Nepal is made up of more than 103 ethnic groups and 93 spoken languages and dialects. Folklore plays a major role in Nepali culture amongst all ethnic groups. Tales and stories are typically based upon reality and religious belief with an emphasis on love, war, gods, demons, ghosts, animals and more. A world-renowned figure in Nepal's folklore is the legendary Abominable Snowman also known as the Yeti, Bigfoot or Sasquatch, which is said to live in the Himalayas. One can join in the numerous annual festivals that are celebrated throughout the year in traditional style highlighting these continuing Nepali customs and beliefs.

With the incomparable natural beauty, the warmth and hospitality of the Nepalese people and opportunities to serve the local communities, volunteering in Nepal promises a rewarding experience.

In Nepal, you can volunteer in three bustling cities: Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan. Our volunteer program presently supports local orphanages, health centers, local schools and NGOs working on different social issues. For people interested in the Buddhist life and culture, you can teach at a Buddhist monastery in Kathmandu.

Deforestation is a big problem in Nepal and you can help battle it when joining in the community nursery program that not only helps replanting trees but also tries to create awareness for these issues in the community.
