Volunteer in Nepal

I applied to the European Solidarity Corps– Volunteer in Humanitarian Aid at age 34, after having missed out on volunteering opportunities within Europe.

I was looking for the right opportunity that combines my role as a trainer and career counsellor.

I applied and got selected to work on the Youth Empowerment project of Volunteers Initiative Nepal (ViN).

I spent five months in a small village of Eastern Nepal in the Everest region.

This experience helped me learn about Nepali culture, grow me as a trainer, introduced me to a couple dozen wonderful volunteers! 

Take a break from your "normal" life for a few weeks (or months!) to explore a different culture. 

Experience rural Nepal: eat dal bhat and momos, walk kilometers up and downhill every day, experience mountain climate, join religious and local celebrations.

Live with local families and get a peek into their everyday life. 

Share your skills, knowledge, and your passion with people who are keen to learn! Support ViN or other local NGOs. 

Leave your comfort zone far behind, reflect on your priorities in life and see where it takes you.
