Volunteering in Nepal is the best to experience Nepal and help the local community. Volunteering is better in remote part of Nepal. We have option of helping in education sector. We can work on government school. It is good to have translator. Volunteer can also work on Health sector. There is no machinery check up facilities. Volunteer can work on Agriculture but it is not that easy as we have to work manually. But overall development of rural area we have to improve education, health and agriculture sector. We can do it and we will do it to help develop the rural community.
Give us your interest and plan and number of day you want to help the community, we will arrange you transportation, basic accommodation and we will look after meals which is simple Nepali meal ie rice and seasonal vegetables. Accommodation wise also it will be basic. You will get a room. Toilet is outside.
Our plan for now is to take you GangaJamuna-4 Ratmate, Dhading. This is my birth place and I want to help the villagers in the way I can. So, volunteer need to spend on village with basic needs for at least few weeks, so they can improve in particular field. Most welcome to have helping hands and develop remote part of Nepal.
We will drive by local bus to reach Dhading. It is about 135 km. It is north west of Kathmandu. There are about 150 houses in this villages. There are various ethinc group living in Ratmate. They are Chhetri, Magar, Gurung, Ghale and Kami. Ganesh Himal and Mt. Manaslu is near by.
You can work in education field or you health sector. You can also work in agriculture but it is not easy to work in agriculture. Agriculture in Nepal is quite difficult as we follow primitive practices. Still the field is ploughed by ox in most of the villages. These days small tractor are used to ploughing the field. Instead of growing cereals crop we can plant cash crops. If the village gets irrigation that can be possible. Also Agricultural is seasonal job. The village is about 1100m from the sea level.
Ratmate of Dhading is remote village and you will only get basic meals while you are in this village. The accommodation is also very basic. It is good to have minimum 10 days or more program to be spend in the village.
The best option will be working in school as there are two school. The small school is 10 minute walk from where you stay overnight. They teach here from play group to grade 5. The other school is upto grade 12. You have to walk for about 45 minute to reach there. If possible it would be good to give training to teachers.
We can do the Tinsure Trek after this Volunteering program. You will be able to trek GangaJamuna Tinsure Trek. You can follow the link. It is the best option. But if you want to explore even rural areas in Dhading you are most welcome. Or we can organize any of the trek in Nepal we would be happy to organize it for you.
The best option would be working on Volunteer on education sector:
- Volunteer on Health sector
- Volunteer on agriculture.
