Voluntary teaching in rural Nepal for 8 months

What will I be doing?

I have been selected by Project Trust to volunteer in Nepal for 8 months starting January 2020. I'm heading to join a community in the far west of Baglung District  which I'll be living in for the following 8 months. While I'm there I will be teaching English and ICT  to grades 1-10 (ages 5-18) to GCSE equivalent exams.  All the schools really struggle with the level of spoken English;  thats why the need for teachers in these communities is evident, and the knowledge and enthusiasm the volunteers bring is so valuable. Since knowledge about English and ICT is so important in the children's later lives, it is necessary for them to learn these subjects. They will have the possibilty of accessing a much wider range of opportunities and find their way better in society. I'm over the moon that I will be able to make such an enormous positive difference in these children's lives and give them an improved and more valuable future.

Something about Nepal

Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia and home to over 29 million people. It is located mainly in the Himalayas and borders China in the north and India in the south. Nepal has a diverse geography, including eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. It's home to a wide range of cultures, traditions and religions. Because Nepal used to be very inaccessible, it has retained its old culture and has managed to preserve its ancient and unique civilization. This is accompanied by massive poverty and many diseases, underdeveloped social facilities and an economy based on agriculture. There is a huge demand for teachers, particularly in rural areas. The under-resourced education system means that less than half of primary school children enter into secondary school.
