VIN has spent 10 years working with the Jitpurphedi area, and has achieved some remarkable things in that time, improving the lives of countless people. Their help is highly valued by the community, and wearing a VIN T-Shirt gives you instant status with everyone you meet. The volunteering opportunities they offer give you a chance to really experience the Nepali way of life. These are not sugar-coated, tourist friendly placements, if you are on construction; expect to be spending your days laboring with the locals. Teaching placements will see you responsible for the education of a broad range of students. Empowering women will need you to develop education material for a hugely diverse range of subjects from stress management to basic engineering. If you have the skills, the time and the enthusiasm then you will find a VIN placement hugely rewarding.
