About Program

Join us in Nepal and immerse yourself in the culture of this breathtaking Himalayan country! Volunteer programs include caring for toddlers from poor families, teaching in a public school or Buddhist monastery, working at a rescue for street dogs and cats, assisting at an orphanage for disabled children, teaching computer classes in remote villages, school construction, or helping with an anti-human trafficking education campaign. Top off your program trekking in the Himalayas and this can truly be the experience of a lifetime!

Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.

Experience in Gorsyang

The living conditions in Gorsyang was an eye opener as compared to the life in Singapore. After a few days, we were able to adapt to the different living conditions. It was enjoyable to be able to interact with the children. The hosts at both Kathmandu and Gorsyang were very welcoming and treated us very well, by providing us with more than the daily 3 meals a day. New volunteers to Gorsyang should be mentally prepared and be able to adapt to the different conditions as well.

Great experience..... friendly and knowledgeable staff.... based on your needs and abilities. I have anxiety and claustrophobia and my fiancé had a weak stomach and the bumps and turns were too much for him anish recognized that we needed a different form of transportation for our journey and that made all the difference in our experience. We also wanted to experience Nepal not as just tourists and we were given opportunities to live in villages and help schools that were outside Kathmandu. I did have a lot of culture shock and would recommend people that are coming to travel with a partner to help with this but I would also come back to help with the plans that I am recommending be put in place.

an adventure of a lifetime

I don't know where to start from, Nepal is a travelers paradise. extremely cultural, overly polluted with people and shamelessly amazing. just one thing, whenever do you plan to come to Nepal, forget what people say to you about it and just pack your bags and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime. the people are beautiful inside out (they dress so well) and there are 7 UNESCO world heritage sites just in Kathmandu valley. the school faculty with who I collaborated with were so eager to welcome volunteer and the children were amazingly naughty and rambunctious. believe me that place is 100% safe, my driver back in Pakistan is Nepali and he told me even at 3 in the morning you are as safe as at back home and he was right, I left my wallet in a taxi and the cab driver found me and gave it back to me. Nepal is surely not a place to miss from the amazingly cooked daal bhat and momos to its exuberant tourist destinations.

I believe that every experience can be growthful. Veronique, my partner, and I felt that it would be helpful if we had some document helping us to understand the setting at Sarita's, the routine, the needs, our role, how to best interact with the staff. We felt we could contribute to the lives of the children BUT were there structures and How to Do Manuals that we could establish that would assist those volunteers who followed us. Veronique took up this task and did a wonderful job of writing papers and manuals to assist others. One must understand that many of the human service practices of Nepal are very primitive and undeveloped. The fundamental needs of food and shelter have been the priority. ELI (Experiential Learning International) is a major contributor to assisting this country place human services at the front of its priorities.

This program actually changed one of my main issues with it! The cost! The cost is much lower than it was when I volunteered, so I suggest that others take advantage of this opportunity!
