Help
We require volunteers to help in our school to teach English and to help with cultural exchanges with our students. We run a public school with 900 students from around the Almora area ages 4 - 15 years old. The students have a good grasp of English but would greatly benefit from language practice with a Native English speaker. If English is not your first language then our students would be interested in learning about your culture. We offer clean and safe full-board accommodation where you might be sharing with up to 1 other person with consent. We are open to families and couples.
