About the Current Strife in Nepal
Nepal has been in a state of civil unrest for the past decade or so. The current situation with the resignation of the Prime Minister will likely have very little effect upon the daily routines of the Nepali people or upon the volunteers serving here. Transportation bundhs (a bundh is when one group or another with a grievance will call for the closing of roads, or schools, or government offices) are a routine way of life in Nepal.
The government has always been working very hard to have tourists and volunteers come to Nepal; the country depends a great deal upon the tourist trade and volunteers serve the people. Tourists have always been made to feel welcomed and secure by the Nepalese people.
The current strife is an internal problem that should be left to the Nepalese people to work out. Not coming to Nepal at this or any time lessens the chance for their eventual rise to peace and prosperity for all.

Our Mission
Volunteer Nepal strives to serve and enhance the relationship between the Nepalese people and volunteers who seek a heartfelt, life-changing experience.
We are dedicated to arranging for volunteers to come to Nepal and be completely immersed in the culture. Through our placement of the volunteers into the homes of Nepalese families, where they share in the daily life of the average Nepalese while working in the community, we have found that the experience is life-altering and affirming for both the Nepalese and the volunteers.
Please read more about us and learn about how you can change lives by joining our volunteer efforts.
