Volunteer Program

GCHN offers a flexible volunteer program in one of three places in Nepal. The intention is to bring your skills and knowledge to improve the lives of Nepal's underprivileged children. All you need is an open mind, open heart and willingness to share and exchange ideas, knowledge, education, culture and your experiences.
1. Kathmandu (capital city of Nepal)
2. Chitwan (village in southern Nepal)
3. Jabang
*Our children are in the process of learning English, thus you do not need to speak Nepali to participate (though some basic vocabulary is always appreciated!)
