Description

Ama Ghar Children's Home has seen an increase of foreign volunteers in the past year. Some visit for a day, others stay a month or more. Individuals from diverse backgrounds come to share their wisdom and experience with the children, helping with homework, playing, and teaching. Though the capacity for visitors is small, Ama Ghar staff and children are happy to accommodate as many as possible. We are especially looking for visitors with skills and resources that can benefit the surrounding community. By using Ama Ghar as a home base, innovative volunteers can connect with other organizations to teach, help in clinics, and seek out opportunities that match with their skills and desires.

 
Cost Details
Visitors live near Ama Ghar in an apartment (currently priced at $15.00 a day), eat meals with the staff and children, and have plenty of time to explore Kathmandu. Some times of the year are closed and maximum stay is two months.
