About this Opportunity
This program is designed for people who are interested in religious culture, to teach English in one monastery for a period of two months or more. Volunteer World Nepal Nepal can provide longer stays upon request. Volunteers will teach English to the monks, both young and old, for around two to three hours per day. In turn, the monks will share their knowledge and culture with the volunteers. Meditation practice, as well as field trips to Hindu and Buddhist holy sites, will be included in the program.
The monks will be able to speak both languages so it is really a matter of the volunteer's preference; however, most people find Nepali easier to learn. the volunteers will visit holy sites around the Kathmandu Valley. This program combines religious research, through an experiential approach, with volunteer English teaching. Due to the fact that the monks spend their lives inside the monastery, this program provides them with the amazing opportunity to learn English, as well as experience another culture, from an international volunteer.
