Educational activities in local primary school - i.e. teaching English, sport, music etc. 3. Environmental awareness activities with local women’s group (working together and avoiding waste... volunteers are welcome to present their own ideas!).
Location:
Bhorle village of Chitwan district, about 130km south-west from Kathmandu in center of Nepal. Bhorle is a popular destination for international volunteers. We are working there since 1995 and hundreds of volunteers have already joined international projects in Bholre. Major attraction of Bholre is their rich Gurung culture, friendly behavior of local people to volunteers and their active participation in cultural exchange day. More then that, Bhorle is located on the foot of two high mountains and closed to Trisuli river famous for rafting. Chitwan is one of the main destinations for the jungle adventures and wildlife in the world. One-horned rhino, Bengal tiger, ghadials (long/short snout) crocodiles, species of birds and others, are the main attraction of Chitwan district. All volunteers travel together from Kathmandu to camp site (Bhorle). FFN manage group traveling to get work camp place. Therefore volunteer need to be one day before the camp date. If volunteer come late, he or she will travel alone but FFN will help to catch right transportation. A public bus takes about 5 hour to get Bhorle.
