Monasteries: This is a great opportunity for volunteers who want to Teach English in the monastery in Nepal. There are several Tibetan refugees Camps and Monasteries that house hundreds of Tibetan kids taking Buddhist monk educational training in Katmandu to preserve the amazing cultural richness of Tibet and Buddhism practice. Knowledge of English can be an enormous help to these kids to explore more scriptures written in English and circulate Buddhist teachings practice to the whole world.
There’s a one month minimum requirement in this program. Volunteers will teach English to the monks, both young and old, for around 3 to 5 hours every day. Volunteers can also have a chance to participate in some monasteries run programs & meditation during free time. This program combines religious learning & research through Volunteering.
Schools: You may be working as the sole teacher in the classroom or in partnership with a Nepali teacher.
