Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Tibetan culture and Buddhism by participating in our extraordinary volunteer opportunity: Teaching English in Monasteries. This program, located in the heart of Kathmandu, Nepal, offers you the chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of Tibetan refugee children, as they embark on their educational journey as Buddhist monks. By sharing your knowledge of English, you’ll empower these young monks to explore sacred scriptures written in English and spread Buddhist teachings to the world.
Program Details:
As a dedicated volunteer, you’ll be placed in one of the monasteries, where you’ll teach English to monks of varying ages and proficiency levels. Depending on the monastery’s size, you can expect to work with around 15 monks, each with a moderate or beginner’s level of English.
No prior teaching experience or formal training is required to participate in this remarkable program.
