Before you apply, please consider the following:
• Can you live without modern plumbing, hot water and
electricity?
• Are you aware that most volunteers experience illness at
some point during their stay?
• Are you open enough to accept and respect a culture no
matter how different it is from your first culture?
• Are you comfortable with yourself? At times you may feel
isolated, particularly when you arrive in a village knowing
no one.
• Are you hungry to learn? You'll learn a new language, a
new culture, a new way of life.
• Can you handle culture shock? The moment you step off the
plane you will be in a world where very little is familiar.
• Are you flexible? Developing countries, and Nepal in
particular, are not as obsessed with time as the US or
Europe. Often, schedules are ignored or appointments begin
later than arranged. You may also encounter corruption in
government officials and local administrators.
If you decide to volunteer in Nepal, you are opening the
door to the possibility for a personally enriching and
life-changing experience.
The following attributes are vital for survival, regardless
of the program!
• Independence
• Patience
• Good problem-solving skills
• Sense of humor/ability to laugh at yourself
• Tolerance
• Willingness to share
• Flexibility
• Self-motivation
• Open-mindedness
• Enthusiasm to learn about new cultures
