Had the most amazing 5 weeks teaching English at a Tibetan Bhuddist monastery- an experience I will encourage everyone to do at least once in their lives! Truly amazing and VIN was so helpful, accommodating and organised in creating this experience. Very transparent with spending, wide variety of programs to choose from each benefitting Nepal in different ways. Well run and deserves all the credit. Highly recommend 10/10

Whole volunteer experiences here were wonderful. I could experience real culture in Nepal though communication and volunteer activities in the local community. Through my volunteer activities, I could enjoy myself and gained new skills for the personal development.
VIN was so supportive and all of them were organized well.

Volunteering with VIN has been a truly enriching and unforgettable experience. It offers a rare opportunity to deeply immerse oneself in the warmth, richness, and beauty of Nepali culture while giving back in a meaningful way. From the very beginning, the VIN staff were welcoming and supportive, generously sharing cultural insights and guidance that helped me feel at home and prepared to contribute right away. Their dedication and care made it easy to connect with the community and begin making a difference. I am deeply grateful for every moment spent here—the people I met, the lessons I learned, and the sense of purpose I felt throughout. Thank you, VIN, for creating such a powerful and life-changing experience.

VIN was an incredible experience. VIN provided a well-structured program with meaningful community engagement. The organization’s focus on sustainability ensured that our contributions had a lasting impact. We also appreciated the chance to coach sports and organize a winter camp, which made learning fun and interactive for the students. Also I was able to work on some meaningful activities such as women empowerment and human trafficking awareness. For anyone looking to make a real difference while growing personally and professionally, VIN is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

Volunteering with VIN was an incredibly experience! I spent an amazing 2 weeks working in 4 schools teaching about disasters and preparedness while enhancing the childrens english. Everyone I met was so lovely and helpful enciting me into their culture. While in Okhaldhunga I got to see multiple festivals including Gai Jatra and Teej, which was unforgettable and really made my time in Nepal. I'm so glad VIN allowed me to see the beautiful sights and culture if Nepal and I wish to come back soon!
