What does MCWFN expect from me during and after my volunteering programme?
During your visit we expect all volunteers to adapt as much as possible to the Nepali way of life. This may mean rising early to travel, eating later than expected, experiencing different cuisine and basic living quarters. Volunteers should be flexible to changes in the programme should the programme organisers deem changes to be necessary. On volunteering days you should expect to be up early for washing and breakfast and to work from 10-1pm 2-4pm as a rough guide. However, it is very common for your generosity to be reciprocated by the community by way of music and dancing through the evening, followed by a late supper! It is strongly advised that you come prepared to teach with resources and lesson plans. The children’s level of English varies widely from school to school and so resources and lesson ideas must cater for this. The class teacher is often present to help you translate, yet this should not be relied upon. After your visit we are certain you will have many happy memories
