“My experience with VIN was positive in many ways. The VIN staff is comprised of great people who are fun to work with. The projects are also very interesting and inspiring.

My primary work was teaching English to Monastery in Kathmandu. It was fascinating to live among them and experience their lifestyle and traditions – both of which were completely unknown to me before my time in Nepal.

I also had the chance to spend some time at the orphanage playing with the kids there. Helping them spell their names with blocks, playing volleyball, and the other activities we did with the kids to bring a smile to their faces is an experience I’ll always remember.

If you’re coming to Nepal, take some time to volunteer – it greatly enriches the experience and one’s knowledge of Nepal & its people.”
