The best way to experience Nepal's distinctive culture, a sense of true family, and a glimpse into daily living is to volunteer to uplift the lives of disadvantaged children. It was indeed my greatest experience being around with amazing children. I love them and yes, this is my home away from home and they are my second family. I had a great time with them by playing around, doing homework, cleaning, and washing clothes. I miss their happiness and smiles when I was around, and I am already planning to come back Nepal, again. Instead of calling me by my name, they called me brother. It saddens me to hear their sad life-tales and I feel great sense of achievement that my little effort helped them lead a happy life. I was traveling after finishing my program and project staff often contacted me to see how I was doing and if I was safe.

I, one hundred percent recommend you join IFRE's childcare program in Kathmandu if you are looking for a way to volunteer travel Nepal. The staff were great, the food was amazing, I have no complaints. My experience with the IFRE program had been fantastic. U.S. Based operations and Nepalese field personnel were professional on their work. The Country Coordinator and The Field both responded quickly and efficiently! They were great that to make sure the volunteers had everything they needed for the program.

I miss beautiful Nepal and its children. Had a great journey.

Suggestion
Be in touch with the coordinator before your arrival, so that you can manage perfectly for the program.
