Teaching Buddhist Monks in Nepal
(Trip code: NPL4

Nepal is the birth place of Buddha and Buddhism. Though, predominantly a Hindu country, Nepal has a significant Buddhist influence. In Kathmandu, Buddhism is practiced by Tibetan people who are in exile in Nepal . Tibetan children are very keen to learn and improve their conversational English to brighten their future and also to be able to translate and preserve the holy Buddhist scriptures. The local monasteries which are located in the outer city areas and villages urgently need volunteers and help.

This is a perfect project if you are interested in Buddhism and the life of Buddhist monks. Your role as a volunteer can make a difference in the lives of children many who dream of learning English. Volunteering in Nepal Teaching Buddhist Monks Project is an enriching and life changing experience for our volunteers as well as the Buddhist children.
