If you are thinking about volunteering with Pasang Memorial Community Boarding School, please read this file carefully. It will answer some of your questions and prepare you for this experience. It will also help you to avoid misunderstandings and problems. If you still have questions after reading this file, please email them to us at volunteers@ How can I get involved? We work in Helambu region of Nepal. We concentrate on healthcare and education access in the area. We organize health camps and run a boarding school in Gangkharka village. The school is home to 110 students from marginalized groups. They are aged 3-15 and we have nursery to class 5. Depending on your skills and experience, there are few options. You can teach our students English, arts or sports. You can help us develop an organic farm. You can participate in a health camp or be a medical volunteer at the school.  How much does it cost? We charge 10,000 NPR (about USD 150) processing fee if you go for more than a month, and 100 USD if you go for less. It is paid after your arrival to Nepal to our in country Volunteer Coordinator. Our volunteers stay in the village with a local family and it costs NPR 250 (about USD 3) a day for food and accommodation. The accommodation fee is paid directly to your host family in the village on a weekly basis. We also encourage our volunteers to organize fundraisers prior to coming to Nepal. We understand that every volunteer has a different capacity to give to our project and we would hate it if a volunteer wasnt able to come because of the 10,000 NPR volunteering fee. Hence, we have established a policy where volunteers can conduct fundraisers. The money can go towards your volunteers fees and any extra will go directly into our programs. One of the biggest obstacles to implementing programs like the organic farming scheme are the start-up costs involved. We would love it if you could help us to raise money for the projects you will be working on. If you dont ha
