My volunteer stay in Nepal at the Mission in Church orphanage children home was one of my most cherished memories from my volunteer stay in Nepal. When I arrived I was greeted by some of the warmest orphanage children I have ever met and a kind loving family who made me feel welcome from the moment of my arrival. Along with a strong family environment, the orphanage is founded on strong Christian views.
David Being the pastor of the local church (located in the orphanage) welcomes you to be part of their community and to learn about their faith. The church community is a very kind group, encouraging you to experience and be part of their culture.
You spend most of your time with the children, waking up for the morning prayer group and then playing with the children till breakfast. After which you walk the children to school then you have the morning and early afternoon to explore the Kathmandu valley. The local bus picks you up at the door of the orphanage and can take you into Lainschar where it is about a ten or fifteen minute walk into Thamel.
After you pick the orphanage children up from school you help them with their homework and then afterwards have time to play. Before dinner there is another prayer group and then dinner with the family. With the orphanage children you really take on the role of a big brother or sister and keep an eye on them and get to know some of the most creative and sweetest orphanage children.
My volunteer stay in Nepal It was a pleasure for me to get to know this family. I definitely feel that I would have had a very different experience if I had lived with a host family instead of taking up my stay at the orphanage and I am grateful that I did so. I feel I truly made a bond with the children and hopefully left as much of an impact on them as they did on me, I just can say that after being with the loving children from this orphanage my life has changed and my heart has expanded. If you ever want to experience something truly especial do not hesitate to go to Nepal and spend sometime at the Mission in Church, Orphanage in Nepal.
