| 背景 |
We have been operating in Daman since 2012. Daman is quite isolated and most people are farmers, living a traditional life, as they have done for generations. However, times are changing and the community has a severe lack of funds to keep up with the rapid changes that Nepal is undergoing. Knowledge of other cultures and the ability to speak English are vital skills for young Nepalese people. Many look forward to a future in the tourism business, and therefore the ability to communicate effectively with foreigners will increase their chances of having a better life once they leave the village. We also believe that our volunteers benefit a lot from staying in Daman. Living in a completely different culture with local hosts and adjusting to their conditions is an unforgettable experience. Teaching locals to think in new and different ways is to their benefit, learning from their unique way of life is yours. Our main aim is therefore to make life easier and more enjoyable particularly for the youth in Daman by giving them better prospects for the future. |
| 仕事内容 |
Improving the facilities and the teaching at the local high school, where volunteers will mainly paint and decorate classrooms. Besides the educational and manual work in the school, the volunteers will also help with some construction and agriculture tasks in the community. |
| 宿泊 |
In Daman, the volunteers have the unique opportunity to stay with a local family. This is great way to gain an insight into the Nepalese culture and enjoy the friendliness of the people here. Please bring your own sleeping bag. Volunteers will have three traditional meals a day, mostly the Nepalese national dish Dhal Bhat and Tarkari. Showers with cold water are available. You can enjoy probably the finest view of the Himalayas extending on a good day from Dhaulagiri in the west to Mount Everest in the east. |
| 場所 |
Daman is a small village in the Thaha Municipality, Makwanpur District, Bagmati Province in central Nepal. It lies about 100 km southwest of Kathmandu, at an elevation of about 2,322 meters (7,620 feet) above sea level. Daman is renowned for its panoramic views of the Himalayan Mountain range, providing visitors with stunning vistas of peaks like Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Dorje Lakpa, and others on clear days. |
