https://www.truexperiencetravel.co.uk/destinations/_nepalVolunteer Teaching in Pokhara Nepal
Whether you’re looking to become a teacher, or simply love working with children, this is a great opportunity to practice your skills in a place that really needs you! Pokhara is a vibrant town that sits amidst the mountain ranges of Annapurna and is known for its outstanding beauty and adventure activities. Here, there are many children with a low level of literacy, and who have little chance of reaching their potential. Your influence will help to build their confidence and perhaps even ignite the spark of a brighter future! And of course, after your day of volunteering, you can enjoy all that Pokhara offers its adventurous volunteers!
Encourage Children to Love Learning and Dream Big!
As a volunteer teacher in Nepal, you will be working with children in local schools and teaching a range of subjects such as Maths, Geography and Music, to help them grasp the basics of the English language. Additionally, you’ll be helping teaching staff prepare for classes, and you will also be encouraged to use your own creativity to get your students engaged! Patience and understanding is key for this programme, however, as many of these children have had a difficult start in life and will need a little extra support.
Come to Pokhara and Discover a City filled with Adventure!
Pokhara offers something for every type of traveller; for those who want to know more about the city’s culture, you’ll find ancient temples and museums as well as local events to take part in. If you’re more of an adrenalin-junkie, you can take up paragliding, paddle-boating and many other adventure activities! In fact, whatever you’re looking for, you’ll likely find it in this understated city, with a wealth of treks, white-water rivers and hills to navigate on your time off! However, you’ll also be able to kick back and relax with new friends at your accommodation, or take a stroll and simply enjoy the ambience of Nepali life!
