Helping the children of Nepal


Thomas WellsThomas Wells writes...

"My time with Changing Worlds gave me a new outlook on life. Having spent eight months volunteering in Nepal between 2003 and 2004, I found it to be one of the most amazing places I had ever visited. I was moved not only by the desperate poverty that exists there, but also the depth of kindness and generosity of the Nepali people.

Nepalese manOn my return home, I set up a charity called Future For Nepal. FFN is an organisation dedicated to giving children a better start in life. The charity's aim is to provide children, not only with a good education, but a safe environment where all the needs of a child are provided for.

It was my stay in Nepal with Changing Worlds that allowed me to realise that anything is possible. One person can make a difference. Changing Worlds is a fantastic company, where each student receives a personalised service. Plus they are on hand to help out with any pre- or post-departure jitters! Once you arrive at your destination, their representatives - in my case, this was Basant - are wonderful. Not only do they ensure that everything is organised with respect to your placement, but they are always there for those times when you need a kind ear. I can not think of a better organisation than Changing Worlds and would recommend them to anyone who is interested in a volunteer placement abroad!"

Changing Worlds' Trek and Teach project in Nepal includes a 10-day Himalayan trek, a 10-day Tibet tour, three days of river rafting and Chitwan safari, as well as four months of teaching.
