Xue Ying Fiona WangDo you dream of changing the lives of helpless orphaned children? Are you interested to visit Nepal to help and immerse yourself in exciting Nepalese culture? Join this volunteer in Nepal orphanage program to experience this and more.
Nepal offers travellers everything from breathtaking mountains and landscapes to national parks and striking animals. You get to enjoy delicious traditional meals to wonderful antique landmarks and temples having unique architecture. All the natural and cultural wonders make Nepal a marvelous country to visit and volunteer.
Despite being a natural paradise, thousands of children are forced to live a life of an orphan in Nepal. This is due to rampant poverty, illiteracy, political instability and many other tragic circumstances. These helpless children are forced to find a shelter in the orphanages. The orphanages try everything possible to comfort them with basic needs. However, the poor children have not been getting adequate support as the orphanages lack sufficient staff and fund.
RCDP's volunteering in Nepal orphanage program works with many orphanages in Nepal to help them do a better job of caring the disadvantaged children. When you join this program, you will work with impoverished children to offer much needed affection, care and attention. Your priceless help and dedication of time will help the poor children lead a happy and harmonious life.
Join this highly impactful program to make a true meaningful difference! Contact RCDP about this exciting opportunity today.
