Administrative Volunteer in Kathmandu, Nepal

Volunteer from Germany:


Project Planning and Management: Improvement of the KfK Medical Clinic and support of the establishment of The Mountain Fund Volunteer Visitor Center in Kathmandu (10 weeks) June - August 2007:

“A few months before the start of my Master in Project Planning and Management, I was traveling in Nepal and decided that I wanted to gain working experience Nepal. However, it was not easy to find an organisation where I could do my own project and not have to pay at least US $ 500 per month. When I went into the office of The Mountain Fund in Kathmandu and expressed my wish for my own project, I got told that basically anything I wanted to do was possible. When I also realized that The Mountain Fund was not interested in making money from me I started with an assessment at the KfK-Medical Clinic in the beautiful Langtang mountain area. I enjoyed my time and gained important working experience up at the KfK-Clinic as well as working on the improvement of the clinic from Kathmandu. Because I agree with the genuinely non-profit ethos of The Mountain Fund I also volunteered in the office helping with the establishment of The Mountain Fund Visitor Center in Kathmandu. I love Nepal and its people and can definitely recommended The Mountain Fund.“
