 I volunteered with Hands for Help in June and July of 2003. I volunteered teaching English to elementary school children in Kathmandu. I requested to live with a family while I was there and Hands for Help found a great family for me to live with. I was able to learn a lot about customs by living with a family and Igot a sense of how close families are in Nepal. I appreciated the people who work at Hands for Help. I was able to visit regularly with the director of the program, Anil Bhusal, and ask him for advice or for information. He is a good listener and a good source of information. His co-worker, Badri Rai, also listened patiently and gave me good information. I learned a lot about living in a humid and warm climate while there. It's important to bring rain gear such as an umbrella and a rain jacket. It is also a good idea to bring lightweight clothing and shoes for walking. These items are really necessary for getting around since it rains almost every day and one has to walk virtually everywhere. ------ Cheers, Heidi |
