Creative arts, teenage and high school volunteering work in Nepal

The creative arts and child development project is based in schools, homes and disability centres. It was developed as art offers a platform to escape from reality and the hardships of everyday life for vulnerable and disadvantaged children, while also teaching skills that can positively impact their futures.

Creative arts and child development have included arts as part of the curriculum in the hope to improve the children’s creativity, and ultimately, their lives. These programs allow students to express themselves, tapping into their inventiveness and creativity and are a fun outlet that helps positively stimulate and motivate. By teaching youth creative skills and allowing them the freedom to express themselves, volunteers are imparting these youth the skills to help them towards a happier, more fulfilling life. Since this is a new initiative in the education system, there is a severe lack of creative arts teachers and a desperate need for volunteers.
