You can also choose to work in the administration. You can have a passion for serving the poor to successfully volunteer for the project.

Arrangement of room/food/supervision:
PVN-Nepal manages your entire accommodation, food, and supervision during your stay. You will stay either with a host family or in a home base. In the home base, you’ll share the room with other volunteers and use communal toilets. You’ll be served 3 meals a day. Meals in the home base can be local or continental. In the host family, you’ll have a room for yourself and will be served 3 local meals a day. Staying with a host family provides you with a wonderful opportunity for you to experience the Nepali lifestyle. You can even learn to cook Nepali food. Our staff will visit you every two weeks.
