Class room Painting

6th May, 2014: VIN has been initiating different programs for infrastructure and educational development in Jitpurphedi. From the past year VIN has been performing different infrastructure developmental activities in Nagarjun Higher Secondary School, Shree Kalikasharan Secondary School, Mahadevstan Primary School, Panchmane Balbikas Kendra. Activities like Building walls, Fences, painting ECD classes and decorating it with Child-Friendly arts and class management has been continuously taking place in schools of Jitpur. Similarly, from 20th April to 29th April, VIN mobilized 4 international volunteers and one Local volunteer for Painting and Decoration of the classes in Nagarjun School.
 
Among 300 students, 150 students study in the primary level. Through this project, these children are having a peaceful and wonderful environment for their studies. Before this project, the classes were dirty and unmanageable so the teachers and the children had unpleasant time in the class but since these projects have taken place in different schools, they have proper space, room and a manageable class says the Vice Principle Shiv Prashad Phuyal, Nagarjun School.
 
Likewise the children of the school are having a peaceful and clean time in the classrooms. In coming days, VIN is planning in Saraswati Primary School at Khadwalkot, Tarkeswor Secondary school, North Star Secondary School to paint and decorate the classes. The awareness programs and different trainings are also given to the children of these schools. You can also be part of our work camp projects and help to fulfill the immediate need of the society.

Your Experience/Setting

On arrival you will be greeted at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and transported to your hotel / hostel (alternative arrangements can be made for those already in Nepal prior to the start of their placement). You will then receive a comprehensive a two to three-day induction, during that time you will be provided with information about your particular project as well as general information, including basic Nepalese language and culture, health and safety. This is also a good time to mix with other volunteers or interns who may be great sight-seeing companions and a source of support during your volunteer placement.

During the induction you will be accommodated in a budget hotel or hostel at VIN. However, a large part of the VIN experience comes from the immersion of a

home stay with a Nepalese host family. While this is an essential part of the experience we also recognize that it can be a challenging one, becoming part of a new culture and becoming accustomed to facilities that will be more basic than those you are used to. However, all our host families are experienced in accommodating volunteers – although their ability to speak English will vary – and you will have 24 hours’ access to contact and support from our staff members during your placement.

Volunteers will be placed in one of VIN’s working areas namely Tarakeshor Municipality of Kathmandu, Taluwa, Thulachhap and Bhadaure of Okhaldhunga, and Okharpouwa, Kaule of Nuwakot district. While at the working site the volunteers are requested to bring their own lunch, water bottle, safety gears, face mask and other essential belongings. As a volunteer you are advised to be in a comfortable and modest attire with preferably long sleeves. If you wish to raise project funds or collect project specific resources, you may contact us.
