It is preferred that volunteers have a passion for working and interacting with children, helping others, and willing to donate their time and energy to enhance our Children’s lives. Volunteers can choose to donate their time for as little as one week and may continue volunteering for as many months as they would like. Our goal for our volunteers is to offer children an enriched and stable environment, while helping to carry out different activities. Activities may include: helping children with homework, playing games with and teaching them new games, engaging in conversation to better understand each child, leading presentations, lessons, or games to teach about volunteer’s home country, walking to nearby attractions and much more! Children are encouraged to assist in normal household duties, teaching them how to be responsible and self-reliant youth and adults; that being said, volunteers can help facilitate household duties that can help children build a strong responsible foundation for their future.
Ask questions, have conversations, and get to know the children of HORAC! The more volunteers seek information about the culture in Nepal, the ideas of development in the area and get a true understanding of our organization, the more helping at HORAC will feel like family.
