About Program

Nepal is a must visit country for all inspired travelers. From its bustling city centers to its peaceful undiscovered mountain range, the unique cultural and religious heritage, you really will fall in love with it. Join our project in stunning Pokhara, the lakeside city.

Join our unforgettable teaching project and teach children English in rural schools. English is incredibly important to the local community and this is a fantastic way to make an impact. Children love meeting new volunteers and it is an amazing opportunity to integrate into Nepali life as a local.

Absorb yourself in the incredibly friendly local community by living with other volunteers in shared accommodation with a Nepali family who will cook authentic meals for you.

You will have your afternoons and your weekends to explore your beautiful surrounding. You will also be provided with plenty of training and help by your coordinator who will help you get the most out of you teaching experience.

Impact

Sustainability

Oyster Worldwide is passionate about the importance of responsible travel. We want our projects to fit in with the local way of life, without having a negative impact on the environment, culture or economy. This means that we will only send participants to places where there is a real need and where we have been asked to work. Once there, they should fit in with the community, respecting their way of life and supporting, rather than taking, local jobs.

Program Impact

Learning English can really help young people in rural Nepali communities to gain greater job opportunities. Many rural schools are under-resourced and this means that volunteers can really help to make a difference. Work 1-1 or in small groups to help children to develop their language, to play games and to help them to improve their confidence.
