Area: Tanahun, Gandaki Zone

Hi My name is Manjil. I am the principal of a school in rural Nepal. The School is the only free private educational institution in the country. This is its first year. Without Volunteers, the project will not be able to run in the upcoming years. That would be terrible because a lot of children would be very sad :( There are many things you could do here. You could help teach or be involved in other ideas. Me and my friends here are constantly trying to come up with new ideas to help support this free school. We have agricultural land, art projects and construction ideas too. The families of the students support the school with vegetables and fruits and are always ready to help out in order to keep sustaining this free school.

Area: Rajasthan

We run a camel safari tour company, in Rajasthan (recommended by Lonely Planet). We are busy with business and need someone to assist us in English communication. We can offer free, "home-stay" style accommodation and meals. We would also appreciate help with our safaris, and anyone who comes to work here will surely have the chance to enjoy the beautiful desert landscape. We are village people with a long history of social work. We would love the chance to exchange information about our culture and the work we are doing here.
