About Nepal - Africa and Asia Venture

About Nepal

Majestic icy peaks but a warmth of welcome that melts you instantly. Nepal has few natural resources other than its startling beauty and its people.

Huge mountains dominate tiny terraced fields, where 80% of the people grow not quite enough food to live on. In steep-sided valleys are some mighty rivers and fast-growing towns, which offer electricity, water, medicine and schools.

It is here that our volunteering opportunities in Nepal and the AV Foundation work with a local NGO to support rural government schools and schools for the children of ex-Gurkha servicemen in western Nepal.   

The Nepal Venture

By volunteering in Nepal with AV you can help teach English in poor rural schools (some for blind or deaf children and some in orphanages) in western Nepal. Live in a self-catering house, and walk to school each day. You will be well known in the town, a resident and friend rather than a passing tourist.
