Home Stay and Cultural Exchange
Homestays and cultural exchange programs can be arranged in most areas of Nepal. Participants will be placed with a Nepali family in a small rural village or within a city for the duration of their stay. 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 and help out at the local school.
Homestay Programs are best organized from August to December which is the time when most large local festivals take place resulting in an overall more exciting experience for the volunteer. Nepali culture is distinctively friendly and open and participants are made to feel as though they are part of the family.
Volunteers are welcome to join the Program with their children, partners or group of friends.

Teaching English Program in Nepal
INFO Nepal's Chitwan Resource Centers in Patihani, Chitwan and Nawalparasi offers English language instruction to youth and adults in the community. Some resource centers also offer opportunities to teach computer literacy. The primary purpose of the Center is to offer community youth the opportunity to develop their English language skills and to give the youths a beneficial way of spending their time rather than taking up drinking, smoking or gambling. Ultimately, the philosophy is that improved language skills will lead to employment, particularly in the Chitwan tourist areas.
Language programs are two to three months in length, and are offered to the Nepali community year-round. The maximum class-size is 10 students. Volunteers will teach classes from 6am until 10am, and from 3pm until 6pm, Monday through Friday.
Dynamic, mature volunteers with previous teaching experience are preferred. Volunteers with equivalent 'life experiences' will also be considered, especially those volunteers who have worked within the tourism industry.
Prior to teaching at the Resource Center, volunteers will receive two weeks of Nepali language and cultural training. During their placement, volunteers will stay with a local Nepali family located within a half-hour from the center. (malaai)
