“The program has a good balance of sightseeing and actual volunteering work, and is not a typical school rebuild project with physical labour work or english teaching. I like that I can use my business and work skills in the program. Apart from helping out with the conference, we also get to brainstorm together on other project ideas. It’s also very interesting to get to talk to speakers of the conference finding out what they do and how each of them help the community in their own ways.”

“I loved being a part of a volunteer project in a way that let me see the hard work involved, the networking needed, and the change that was made firsthand!”

“I visited the Building Education project while I was on a nursing internship in Pokhara. It was an amazing supplement to my visit and allowed me to see how an English education can be so beneficial to children in Nepal. The opportunity gave me great insight into the culture and the experience showed me what it is like to grow up in Nepal as well as the lasting effects the earthquake has had on the community. The students are very resilient and so happy despite what they have been through. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the students and helping them with their homework and singing songs! I would love to go back and volunteer for a longer period of time.”
