When I arrived in Nepal, I was warmly welcomed. The training was very useful

and I liked it a lot, especially the language class. After six days I moved to the

Langtang. The busride to there was quite long and I had to change buses two times

because of landslides. But the landscape was amazing.

The village was beautiful and people there soon accepted me and tried to support

me all the time. The host family was friendly and took me to a four-day pilgrimage

with the whole community, which was an unforgettable memory. During the time, I

stayed with another volunteer and we had a lot of fun. It’s nice to have another person

with you in a strange place.

The children were cute and always wanted to play. If you are going to visit the

resource centre, don’t forget to bring a lot of stickers and especially balloons, they

went crazy about that. English education in the elementary school was very basic and

it was sometimes a hard work to keep the kids listening. But I’ll never forget the

happy faces of the children waiting in front of the resource centre for me every day.

They gave me so much love and joy.

As a volunteer, you receive much more than you are able to give. It was the best

experience I have ever had and I won’t regret any minute I spent there in Nepal.
