  Description

  Hello from Bhaktapur!
  
  We the Malla family, based in the historic and culturally rich city of Bhaktapur, Nepal. Our family includes Yogendra, a passionate individual dedicated to supporting the community, his wife Anita, who brings warmth and care to our home, their children R-ya and Aayushree, who are full of energy and curiosity, and Yogendra’s mother, a loving presence who adds wisdom and joy to our family dynamic.
  
  For nearly a decade, we’ve had the privilege of hosting volunteers through the Workaway program. Through this, we offer volunteers a unique chance to help support the education of local children, particularly those in public schools. Volunteers play an important role in providing these children with extra learning opportunities, while also immersing themselves in the daily life of a Nepali family and community.
  
  Our home is not just a place to stay, but a space where connection, learning, and growth happen. Volunteers help with teaching and community support, while also experiencing the vibrant culture of Bhaktapur. Whether it’s participating in local festivals, learning about Nepali traditions, or enjoying homemade meals, the experience is a rich exchange for everyone involved.

  Aide

  Since March of 2013 we are looking for volunteers to help us in our Government schools and Schools for disabled people here in Bhaktapur! (It is a new project). The Government schools are completely public and totally free of charge for students and this is precisely the reason why they only assist the poorest people in the city. They always need and appreciate any help they can get, these are some ways you could help them:
  
  - You can help drawing nice paintings on the walls of the school
  - You can help by teaching English to the kids (their level is not really good)
  - You can help us creating a website or blog for the school.
  - There is no hardware equipment in the school so if you have any old computer and you can bring it here it would be perfect for the kids to acquaint them with computer science and technology
  - If you have any musical instrument you could show them it would be very useful for the kids to learn music from other cultures.
  
  The Government provides them with some course books and some simple clothes but they have no games and they only have very basic and rudimentary school material like pencils or reference books.
  You also can help for baby caring and
  farming too with local families
  If you could contribute in any degree they would be extremely grateful.

  For the accommodation, you will be more than welcome in my house . We will offer you a separate room and sharing kitchen and occidental toilet (and if you want we have a latrine too). You will be able to take a cold or hot shower (as you want)!
  
  About the food, we give you the opportunity for you to eat with my family and myself in a traditional way (on the floor and with the hands) but if you have any problem with that, we also have tables and silverware. We eat a small breakfast at 8am (usually tea and some bread) . The school provides a snack at 1pm approximately and then dinner is at 7pm at my house (dal bhat ). There is no need for you to bring a sleeping bag as we provide any blankets you may need. The temperature is about 30C on summer and 14C on winter. We boil water every day for drinking purposes and you can drink as much as you want.
  
  We ask to you to help us with 5 US Dollars) for your accommodation.

  Cet hôte fait payer des frais

  en savoir plus

  Pourquoi workaway.info autorise-t-il certains hôtes à faire payer des frais ?

  Dans les pays en voie de développement (où la plupart des hôtes sont engagés dans des associations caritatives ou des programmes de développement au service de la communauté locale), certains de nos hôtes peuvent demander aux workawayers de faire un petit don pour aider la famille d'accueil ou l’association (souvent moins de 5 dollars par jour). Workaway n'autorise cette demande de don que si le don va directement à la famille ou à l'association et s'il ne sert qu’à couvrir les frais de séjour des volontaires. (Les annonces où l’hôte demande des frais seront clairement identifiées dans la liste d'annonces).
  Nous n'autorisons en aucun cas les annonces d'agences, d’intermédiaires ou de projets qui nous semblent vouloir profiter des volontaires.
