Volunteers For Environment and Education Program
We rested a lot and today was a great day. In the morning we did kind of Nepali and then with Suren have known the most remarkable customs and traditions of the Suren Nepali culture is very friendly and nice. In the afternoon, with the guy who makes a guide, we can not remember the name, we have dedicated ourselves to know Kathmandu. Everything went very well. Tomorrow will do cultural immersion classes and then visit the temple of the monkeys. With Godabari families go after tomorrow.
Already counting.

I have felt that we were always accompanied, as in our casa.Surendra is a charm, and the kids at the orphanage well. I think that since we're here, there has not been a day that we have not mentioned one because some details of our life now reminds us.

I wanted to do a meditation course, leaves an open program to find a school that he liked. At the end ... "the whole trip was a meditation in itself," he says. It did not find a school, was in the program.

Once somebody said to me that all the material lasts what lasts, but that a trip is for always. Thus I can describe my experience in Nepal, a trip for always. My idea began when, it is satiated with the traditional vacations, I left the way drawn up to enter to me in new and strangers lands. I found VEEP NEPAL to the most exciting trip of my life.
Trip for always
To anyone looking for a place to volunteer abroad Nepal should be your pick and VEEP your organization of choice. This was my first experience volunteering and also my first travel outside of the US and it could not have been better, well less clouds but. The people of Nepal can only be described in one way, overly kind.
My host family were so welcoming at one point I had to tell my Nepali language teacher to have them stop feeding me. It wasn't just my family either. I would be walking my host dog through the village and people that had kids at the school or even not would invite me in to their house to speak with them and have tea. Those first few weeks were rough, 15+ cups of tea a day. Oh man and the food. Some people don't like it. But I will set the record straight. Daal Bhat, staple meal, is the best food ever! If you can get over eating rice everyday the amount of different tastes and styles are endless.

Hello Mr. Joshi,
I am William's father and I this is my first Facebook message.
William and his sister came to visit his Mother and I this weekend along with a cousin. After dinner last night, William told us stories of his trip and passed out some gifts from Nepal. He gave me a cap from the Chitwan National Park with a tiger on it.
William gave us glowing reports of his time in Nepal. The people, the land, and your program all sound wonderful. I really enjoyed the photos of his school especially seeing William's big grin as the staff and students presented him with flowers upon his departure. I found it very fitting that his host family lives immediately adjacent to the school where he taught.
If we send you a letter of thanks that is meant for his host family will you try to deliver it and help them understand our message?
Thank you very much for giving him this great opportunity.

We are all home now and settled back into college life. Everything seems so dull now though after 6 weeks of such adventure!! It's nice to be home though and see everyone, but i miss Nepal so much!
I cant stop looking at my watch and trying to figure out what time it is there and guess what everyone is doing!
I'm sorry that i didnt get to say a proper goodbye to you. I hope you enjoyed the night out on friday as much as i did. It was so much fun. I really hope to get back out to Nepal again as soon as possible. Maybe the next year or two.
Thank you so much for helping me have the trip of a lifetime. I had such an amazing time in Nepal. It wouldnt have been the same without you. Thankyou so much!!
Keep in touch...

At the end of my one month teaching the principle told me he was proud of me as I had taught his students something new. However, little did. I know that I was the one being taught. Immersed in a completely alien culture and classroom, it is amazing what one can learn, Not only about their surroundings but also about themselves and their home
