Opportunity/Projects.

Future Nepal is a non-profitable organization and is run by volunteers. Our revenue is used to give training for poor families, especially for poor women. The amount from the volunteers will be utilized in our different program like education, environment, and income generating training. We give opportunities to the volunteers as per the above said annual program of the organization. Especially Environment, Education, Income Oriented Training, Health, Tourism activity, (Tourism Festival/International Sports), Cultural Exchange, Community development, International volunteer village and stone project (Stone revolution)


Internship Program Future Nepal organizes the internship program to international students in, English teaching, Environment, Income generating training, Education, Tourism activity, Cultural Exchange, Community development and International Volunteer Village. Future Nepal can offer internship in any areas related to Nepal in collaboration with our local partners who work in the different areas. Under the internship program, the intern engages in the daily activities of project. In most of the cases, interns develop a report paper in a particular area of interest by working closely with the project staffs. Generally, the director of the project serves as a supervisor for the intern.


English Language Teacher: We are looking for Volunteers who can teach English to children in government schools clubs or any other groups. The children range in age from 8 to 17 years of age and other may be any. The teaching curriculum for each major subject is based on the students' standard book. Volunteers are also encouraged to create their own lesson plans. Depending on the subject, volunteers can bring along teaching materials such as picture books, instruments, flash cards, art supplies, and songs. Volunteer travels most part of the Nepal with our staff. Mainly we take class most part of the Nepal. Our program runs 1 week to 6 months. If you have a good english in vocal means, it is nice for us. English Language Program length 2 to 10 months. Meghauli Resource Center was created to provide a library & reading materials and English language programs to members of the local groups. At the center, multiple three-month English classes are offered to local youth and adults. The language classes range from beginner to advanced, Foreign English teachers to improve their conversational English. Volunteers will stay with a Nepali family in Meghauli during their placement.


Home stay / Cultural Exchange Home stays and cultural exchange programs can be arranged in most touristy and remote areas of Nepal. Participants will be placed with a Nepali family in a small rural village. This provides the volunteers with an excellent opportunity to learn about all aspects of Nepali culture, lifestyle, language, food and people. Volunteers should remember that this is a cultural exchange and that an effort to offer some knowledge of their own home culture and customs to the family with whom they stay is expected. Participants in the program will not go through training in Nepal with the other volunteers. During their home-stay, volunteers will attend 2 hours of language lessons in the morning and in the afternoon. They will also have the opportunity to visit different interested areas.


Environmental Awareness: After completing different training of first week, volunteers will be placed with a Nepali family in one of the the program village. The host family will live normally one or half hour from the school/Environmental Post. Volunteers will teach environmental awareness at the local school club or door to door of Nepali village each day, Sunday through Friday. Environmental awareness projects will be based-upon their areas of expertise and the needs of the village community. Example projects include: creating "green" clubs, planting a flower garden, planting trees, garbage management, recycling programs, Jute and paper bag training and more awareness program, etc. Volunteers may also provide own their ideas, skills and knowledge about environmental issues.


Community Health Post Volunteer This Program places volunteers in health posts, sub health posts and health clinics. You work in either an urban or rural setting, providing primary care to locals in your specialty. Moreover, if you have doubts about whether your skills and talents are really needed in this part of the world, consider this: The doctor-patient ratio in Nepal is about 1 to 36,000. Particularly in rural areas, where much of the local people live, there is a desperate, chronic shortage of medical personnel and supplies. Medical school students' activities will include things like following doctors on their rounds, exploring different treatments for simple ailments, providing physical therapy, and participating in vaccination programs. Of all of our programs, we are perhaps most proud of the Medical Volunteer Program and the invaluable contributions of independent-minded professionals like you. You will help to relieve the suffering of others, playing a critical role in the villages and towns where you'll serve. Please feel free to contact us for more


Tourism Activity Nepal is a small country, but rich in cultural diversity: Nepal has over 60 different ethnic groups and 70 different languages. So Nepal has more festival. We are specially organized tourism festival. To celebrating different festival in different occasion we are invited more actors from different parts of country. We are exchanging cultural program one to another group. Every countries cultural group can contact with our organization and participant any program. Sometime we participants other groups programs also. On this program we are promoting this target village and product. We have a more program to advertise for foreign guest like Mountaineering, Trekking, Jungle safari, Rafting, Mountain bike etc.

Sports Project Wherever you travel in the world everyone enjoys sports. Why? Well, not only do sports create happy and healthy children but they also bring people together and help to build strong communities. Sports provide a platform for young talent from disadvantaged backgrounds and create a path full of possibilities for their development.Sports' coaching has a real positive impact on children. There is the physical and mental benefit that regular exercise provides. There is the fun and the promise. There are also the life skills like communication, team work, confidence, inclusion, and discipline to be gained by players and volunteer coaches alike.Whatever placement you decide is right for you, beach ball, beach cricket in chitwan and volleyball in school we can help you make the best of your time. You could be learning more about your sport in the morning and organizing a game in the afternoon, if you wish. Through well established relationships with local teams and clubs and carefully structured sports programs we are able to assist volunteers regardless of coaching experience.We can find the right sports project for you - just let us know what interests you !

This concept developed and designed first time in Nepal by Bishnu Prasad Poudel. This concept first applied in Meghauli-8, Chitwan. Which is perfectly success and and more photo http://www.firststonefestival.blogspot.com/.


We want to apply this type of program most part of Nepal in future.



Stone Festival at Meghauli Village : Future Nepal wants to make the people aware of the importance for stones. So they developed the concept of the stone Project . Future Nepal has started to apply this ‘stone project’ in our village. It has selected committee members and have decided to hold the ‘ stone festival’ at the Meghauli Village in Chitwan on March. 5th, 6th 7th for 3 days which is the very first festival and distinguish of it’s kind in Nepal. The village community has embraced the project with open arms. If we join our hands we can achieve anything. As we all know ‘an ocean starts with a drop of water’ - so also can a community start with one stone . Every foundation starts with a stone — so that is very important. Stones can be found everywhere in the village area so why not use these stones to start developing our village. http://www.firststonefestival.blogspot.com/.



What is the Stone Project ?: The aim of this project is to develop our village ourselves. We have asked each person to donate Rupees 1.- per day or one kilo of stones per day that would mean per person 365 Rupees or 365 kilos of stones per year. Those wishing to donate more are welcome to do so. We use the stones and money to develop the most important areas in the village — like parks, children’s library, retirement home, orphanage home and roads and bridges and much more. Why don’t you come and join us and help us in our new ‘ stone project’. We hope that our, help ourselves ‘stone project’ will one day become Nepal wide



Community Children Library: Future Nepal has just established a new children library in rented house at Meghauli Village in Chitwan district. The purpose of this library is to provide a beneficial learning resource for community children from all the caste. So we need wide variety of books and educational materials. We welcome to volunteer to help this library by assisting library, teaching to children, supporting children books and materials, donations etc.



Project Developer & Manager

    Robin Kabir Tear-Uk
    I was very happy with teaching in Parsadap. The Nepal classes were excellent I just wish I was a faster learner, Durga you an excellent teacher. Sita and the family looked after us so well. The house was perfect and it was a delight to be mound so much greenery and animals. The principle of paramount school is very nice and hospitable person.


    Aletheia Bligh-FlowerUK),

We have learned so much and have had such a memorable experience have. I’m sine we will be back. Thank you for your kindness! all our love, “Pheri bhetaula!” Aletheia and Robin

    School Painting Program:
    Future Nepal has been assisting community schools in many ways since its inception. It aims to provide the volunteers immense opportunities to get involved in several activities at community schools and get first-hand experiences of working with the students and teachers.

    On Friday and Saturday (August 28th and 29th ), there was School Painting Program under Construction Project. Our volunteers Ann Wong (U.K), John Finefrock and Ian from Prescott College, Arizona, USA, accompanied by school teachers and some students, actively participated and painted three rooms of Nilganga School, located nearby Thamel. It was indeed a great fun to work collectively while exchanging skills and innovative ideas. The volunteers also distributed stationery items to the students.


    Teaching in Nepal- Chris RaeI 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!
    ****************************************
    - Femke (Holland)After seeing an advertisement of Future Nepal in Kathmandu my friend and I went to the office of Future Nepal. Before starting with the project we had a little coursr to learn the basics of the Nepali language. This was very useful because most of the people in the village speak nepali language and they did not speak English. We chose to do a teaching project in a government School in a Chitwan district.
    We stayed in the house of a local family where we tried to integrate into the Nepalese way of living including eating the national food Dal/Bhat by hand twice a day, taking a public shower with buckets, going to the toilet outside and giving up your privacy.
    The lack of privacy seemed to me one of the main difference between Holland and Nepal. From morning 7:00 till 9:00 in the evening we were surrounded by villagers. A lot of villagers invited us for Tea or Foods and we had wonderful evening with them.
    We started teaching on the after our arrival. There were about 300 children at the lower secondary school. We taught class 5,6,7 and 8. In the class 5 we had to use a lot of nepali words because the level of english was very low. The students of class 8 about 15, 16 years old were very shy in the begining but became much more talktive when time past.
    Although the time was very short we saw improvements of speaking English in the students. We learned a lot about Nepali culture and wish to come back later.



    Ziga Sustersic(Slovenia), Email: ziga.sustersic@gmail.comI learn , enjoyed many things during my stay in Nepal, but I will remember it the most by one thing. That is beautiful Nepalese people. Working with them, learning their language and culture, playing and simply their lifestyle was sometimes challenging but in general beautiful experience. Organization prepared me very well for the visit, providing me some useful language and cultural information, which is really helpful especially if you are facing Nepalese culture for the first time.


    Nadia Zeaiter - (Australia) Volunteer –

    Income generation trainer 2008 My time in Nepal has come to an end and I feel so incredibly sad to be leaving a country that has welcomed me as once of its own. Nepal will always have a special place in my heart and I intend to follow the news of Nepal and hopefully if I am lucky I will come back. I have incredible memories having lived with two beautiful Nepali families, dealing with the staff at the NGO (Future Nepal), of course trekking, rafting and kayaking. I have never met people generous with spirit, full of positively and a culture that is so rich. I have had the pleasure of now having seen and participated in festivals of Dashain , Tihar and many more. I really hope that the political situation improves and the people of Nepal can reach their fullest potential. I look forward to returning but in the meantime I will sorely miss Nepal very much.
