Volunteer In Nepal

NRDC Nepal was formed in 2004 to better serve and enhance the relationship between the Nepalese people and volunteers who seek a heartfelt, profound, and life-changing experience.

We have been accepting around 60 volunteers a year for several years now, representing six of seven continents and a wide range of talents and ages. We have found the experience to be life altering and affirming for both the volunteers and the Nepalese they serve, and the volunteers remaining close to the NRDC Nepal family long after.

The village Trishuli awakened in him the never completely dormant desire to serve others. The utter poverty was in sharp contrast to the joy he found in the children, the incredible natural beauty of Trisoli, and the gratitude, hospitality and humor of the people he served. Two children in particular, Sangita and her younger brother Saroj, formed an immediate bond with a volunteer named John and at month’s end accompanied him back to Kathmandu where he placed them in a boarding school. John then returned to the States where he put his affairs in order, placed his property on the market and made a mad dash back to Nepal and his two new children.
