2nd November, 2014: Since 2007 VIN has been providing ECD program in Jitpur community. It includes 9 ECD classes. Out of which 6 are public school based, 2 are private school based and 1 is community based. VIN provides financing for classroom, teaching skills, hygiene awareness and entertainment equipment to every class. VINs Early Childhood Education program is designed to create early childhood education system in rural and marginalized communities of Nepal. VIN had organized an ECD teacher’s training on 28 and 29 October 2014 along with international volunteer in Northstar English Boarding School Tinpiple,Jitpurphedi VDC, Kathmandu. It was conducted for all ECD teachers of different schools in Jitpurphedi VDC. The main objective behind it was to introduce of new curriculum of ECD and to discuss about methods and use of ECD materials for children’s overall development. The training started through name games. There were many other activities like ground rules practice, rhyme and stories. Along with that reading and writing method practice was also provided. Finally they were taught about sound, colors Rhyme; how to teach letters and alphabets, Sound of Alphabet, Mathematics and drawing of shapes as well.
 
The training was very successful. Throughout the training period, we discussed mostly about methods and uses of ECD materials for children’s overall development. We provided a lot of teaching materials for each school. According to participants, this type of training is very interesting and effective for them & they would like to follow all their learning at their schools. All the participants were extremely satisfied from this training. But time was constraint as it was not sufficient to do more practical. They appreciated about the program and expected for other training like that. They were very thankful to organizer of VIN and Trainer Dian.

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.
