“My experience with VIN was very positive. The staff and local volunteers were all a joy to work with and were very helpful in getting us acquainted with the program. When I first signed up for this trip, I really had no idea exactly what kind of volunteer work I would be doing, but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I could feel that the children really appreciated our help and were so excited when we arrived each day. Their enthusiasm for learning and smiling faces were difficult to part with, on the last day of camp. I am in awe at the relationships formed with these kids in such a short amount of time. The memories mad with VIN and these children are something that I will look back and smile on for many years to come. I am happy to have spent some of my time in Nepal making a difference for the future generation of such a welcoming country full of friendly faces.” – Alana Jajko
“I loved being able to see a part of Nepal that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to experience. Through VIN, we were able to really be more immersed in nepali culture than I ever thought was possible in such a short period of time. Also, the VIN staff was extraordinary friendly and helpful. Thanks for all your hospitality!” – Jess Gunther
