This was my second time volunteering with Projects Abroad. I chose to volunteer on the Youth Development project which is based at a school in the Nawalparasi district near Chitwan National Park.
At the school, I helped run debating sessions for the students, ran English reading and writing classes, ran workshops on the importance of conservation and sports classes, small scale building and helped at with the school meal programme which Projects Abroad pays for.
I felt as though I made a great impact on the lives of children that needed it the most and I can say truly, without hesitation, that this project is amazing and worthwhile.
At the Weekend I went to the National Park where I saw a wild Tiger and Indian Rhino! + Gharial Crocs! Truly amazing.
What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
We were eating dinner in Chitwan main strip of restaurants and two wild (friendly) Indian Rhinos walked past!

Hey Selene,
It was amazing to read and learn about your wonderful experience on our Spanish & Medicine Project in Argentina. We hope to see you on another one of our projects; you’d be welcome back with open arms.
