“Very fulfilling volunteer opportunity!”

General Impression

Overall Rating:    9 / 10

Very fulfilling volunteer opportunity!
Teaching the young Buddhist monks a bit of English involved a great deal of mutual learning—

Country

Nepal is a bit hectic but it is beautiful!

Project & Staff

Staff at the monastery was very caring and easy to work with. The coordinators were delightful - including Keshab and Nicole!

Tips

Don’t wait for a proper schedule for teaching lessons. Get to know the monks and be willing to teach according to their demanding schedule between meditation, chores, meals, and other obligations. A 1-on-1 tutoring format worked well to supplement learning.
