Volunteer Guest Blog: Joining Hands Nepal


One of the lovely volunteers currently staying at our partner Joining Hands Nepal and teaching the children on a daily basis has been kind enough to write a guest blog post about her ongoing experiences. She has been there now for 1 month, and is staying a couple more weeks. We are happy and proud of the progress she has been making with the children in her time at the home. Here is an excerpt from her blog post:
I’ve been here for one month now and it’s been wonderful. It’s so nice that there is enough time to spend a whole week on the same subject. We spent seven English Conversation Classes talking about the world. What is the difference between a country and a continent? Where do I live? What do we know about North & South America? Which countries are in Europe? We talked about the tango from Spain, Mexican food, polar bears in Alaska, the Eiffel tower in France and snorkeling around the Maldives. For the younger children it was a bit difficult. The last class I was very happy and proud because they remembered a lot. Even Venezuela, Suriname and Cambodia, all hard to pronounce.
