Overview
Budathum Village is a remote village located in Dhading District, some 120 km from the capital city of Kathmandu. The village is yet to be connected by roads and majority of the inhabitants here are farmers who are engaged in subsistence farming. Poverty and lack of education are two main challenges for village development.
The 2015 earthquake completely destroyed the Shree Mahendra Ratna Lower Secondary School located in Galane-7, Budathum Village. The school is still awaiting for adequate funding to be rebuilt. Ever since approximately 300 students have been taking classes in temporary shelters made out of corrugated sheets. The school runs classes up to 8th grade.
Nepal Environmental Treks & Expedition has been conducting school volunteering programs for international volunteers, students and tourists in Shree Mahendra Ratna Lower Secondary School in Budathum Village of Dhading District.
We would like to invite interested international volunteers, students and tourists who wish to contribute their time volunteering in this school. You will be spending time teaching and playing with kids, exchanging skills with villagers and learning about local culture and lifestyles. Accommodation and food will be provided and arranged by community group. You can stay from one week up to several months depending on your time availability and interest.
Currently positions are available for English, Math and Science teachers, Sports Coach, Extra curricular activities mentor, Clown, Varieties shows and School reconstruction volunteers etc.
