Overview of the Project
 Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world is very rich in nature. And this beautiful nature draws the attention of many tourists from all over the world. With the promotion of tourism industry, lots of Nepalese now have opportunities to work in tourist related sectors like hotels, resorts, restaurants and bars making every individual lured towards learning the language of the tourist – English. Not only in the tourism sector but it is considered that fluency in English is the first breakthrough towards attaining a good and high paying job in Nepal .
The children of Nepal are very keen to learn and improve their conversational English. All the schools in Nepal , from public, private to boarding schools also put emphasis on English education. The students of boarding schools are better in their English standards compared to public and government run schools. Due to the exorbitant school fees, most of the people in Nepal cannot afford boarding schools and they are destined to public schools where the level of English education is very poor. All the schools in Nepal have their own curriculum and volunteers teach English based on it.
Most of the public and government schools in Nepal are resource poor, under staffed, and the English level of the teachers also not up to the mark. Volunteers while teaching English to the students can also assist the teachers. Apart from teaching English, volunteers can also teach extra curricular activities to develop the perceiving power of the children and also help in the administrative works.
Role of Volunteer
Volunteers will primarily work as English instructors either in public and private schools of Nepal . Depending upon the need, volunteers may be asked to assist in other school extra curricular activities like sports.
• Teach English (2-3 hours a day) in public or private school for six days a week. Most of the students of the school age between 6 and 13. Volunteers will be assisted by other teachers of the schools
• Organizing games, drawing, singing, dancing, and other creative education and extra curricular activities
• Taking kids on educational tours
• Helping kids to do homework, monitor academic progress,
• Other helps on administration
• Help in other activities or programs designed for school children (If any)
Skills/Qualifications Needed
There is no need of specific qualification for teaching English project in Nepal . However, volunteer interested to teach the children must have good command of English.
Room/Food/Supervision

Global Crossroad maintains 3 local staffs, office, vehicle, and own hostel in Kathmandu . Most of our partner schools are located within 10-30 miles periphery of our office in Kathmandu enabling us to meet our volunteers frequently and whenever needed. Volunteer will also have 24/7 access to our office and mobile number of our coordinators. Moreover, head of the school serves as a local contact person for volunteers. Our staffs also visit volunteers in each 1-2 week interval as a part of the program.
