Volunteer experience with Hands for Help Nepal…7 week orphanage placement.

Image
I chose Hands for Help because of the variety of projects available and as a local, grassroots organisation I hoped the projects would be well tailored to the needs of the local communities and provide good support for volunteers. I wasn’t disappointed. The induction in Kathmandu gave me an opportunity to acclimatise, learn a surprising amount of Nepali from my excellent teacher, visit some of the most beautiful sights in the city, and enjoy the wonderful rooftop views of the city from the Millennium Inn…. On my 4 th day I was met by Badri, the volunteer coordinator and Kripa Lama who ran the orphanage that I would be staying at, and taken to my placement on the outskirts of Bhaktapur . My room was in the orphanage ‘annex’ where 5 babies, and 6 small children, a cook, Kripa, his wife and Nima a relative all lived. The other 40 children lived across the road in a larger house (ours had 3 rooms, a kitchen and a toilet), and I was struck by how small the house was as w

volunteered at Alapot Health Post

Last summer, I spent a month in Nepal volunteering at a health clinic in Bhadrabas, a rural village just outside of Kathmandu. The experience was significant for me in a number of ways. Though I have traveled considerably in the past, I had never witnessed first hand the challenges of third-world poverty. The clinic I worked at was small, busy, and desperately short of resources. As a new volunteer with virtually no previous medical training, I did my best to help serve in the ways I could. I helped keep records, dressed wounds, and comforted patients, mostly children, undergoing painful procedures. When I was not working, I spent my time studying Nepali and reading Where There Is No Doctor: A Village Health Care Handbook, to enhance my ability to provide support. Volunteering at that health clinic was powerful for me because not only did I have the opportunity to assist those in need, but I found that working in the context of health care was uniquely fulfilling. Now more than ever, I

Nepal Banda strikes daily life.

Image
After constituent poll, it looked like Nepal has been revived from political turmoil; no more Bandas (strike), chakka jam (wheel strike).Almost 90% Nepalese were optimist in the political situation will be stable, unfortunately the current scenario reflects that 90% people dream might be evaporated. Today I went to Thamel to escort newly arrived volunteer to her placement monastery and orphanage home but there was no car running on the road, just motorcycle, government vehicle and foreign diplomat’s cars. However I took her to both places then had an ice-break with orphanage and Monastery personal. I came to know that the current transportation strike is imposed by Public Transportation Association who is going to hike up the transport fare by 43 percent in all public transportation as recently the petroleum price was increased by 25 percent. The Nepal government allows PTA to make increment by 25% but the PTA is not ready to negotiate on 25 %. Similarly there is
