Teaching English/Work in Orphanage
Trip code: TIB1
 Just outside of the cultural capital of Lhasa and near the world-famous Potala place, volunteers/travelers teach English to poor, destitute, and disabled children. Take advantage of an opportunity to contribute to orphaned children who have been abandoned due to the rampant poverty within Tibet as well as explore the nomadic life of rural Tibetans. In Rustic Volunteer Travel's Teaching English in Tibet program, the school staff supports volunteers and helps them to understand the local curricula and teaching methods, and also helps to resolve communication barriers. Volunteers/travelers can benefit by supplying these orphans with much-needed love and companionship as well as a solid foundation to meet their needs and nurture their interests, goals and ultimately make their dreams for a brighter tomorrow become reality.

| Meals/Accommodations: |
Rustic Volunteer Travel manages room/food for volunteers. There are two different types of accommodations in Tibet (local hotel or project hostel, or dormitories). The Chinese government does not allow volunteers to stay with host families. One should not expect deluxe or luxury accommodations in Tibet Our partner's hostel can house 4 to 6 people. We manage a separate/shared, simple, clean and modest room as well as local meals three times a day. Volunteer will also have an access to our office in Tibet and mobile number of our coordinators. |

| Project Locations: |
 Orphanage projects are available in Lhasa (traditional capital of Tibet, means "place of the gods",). Lhasa has many sites of historic interest, including the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, Zhefeng Temple, Drepung Monastery and Norbulingka. However, many important sites were damaged during the Cultural Revolution. Lhasa was also the established residence of the Dali Lama. Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: ancient forts, beautifully ornamented monasteries, Chorten (commemorative monuments), striking landscapes, temples, fesitivals, hotels, shopping and much more.
