Teaching Volunteer Stories, Nepal

Teaching in Nepal - David Firth I have so many good memories of being a teacher, from getting a pile of cards from my students and being presented with flowers on Valentines Day to telling my students the story of Helen of Troy and watching them perform their favourite parts of the story. I got such a buzz walking out of the classroom knowing that my students had enjoyed the class and had just learnt something new from what I was able to teach them. I loved all my classes and all my students - even the bad ones!

Teaching in Nepal - Chris Rae I loved every second of my time in Nepal. I fell instantly in love with every child in my school, and the staff made me feel very much at home. I arrived with no teaching experience and departed feeling that I'd done something extremely worthwhile. I wouldn't change a single bit of it, and I'd return tomorrow if I had the chance. I have left a lot of new and close friends in Nepal, and I know I'll be seeing them again. A beautiful country with beautiful people in every way. I loved it!

Teaching in Nepal - Andrew Fryer Living on the school grounds meant a lot of my time was spent with the children who boarded on the school grounds. The majority of these children came from underprivileged backgrounds yet despite this they were extremely friendly and always smiling. Every morning we'd be woken up by one of the younger kids knocking on our door, just wanting some attention.

Teaching in Nepal - Caspar Erskine I came to Nepal in late January preparing myself for a two month placement teaching in Nepal. Honestly it all sounded fairly daunting, checking up on the situations and thinking about the challenges of having about thirty children screaming and shouting at me in a different language!
