The Volunteer Visitor Center in Kathmandu - A rewarding experience!


After coming to Kathmandu, Nepal with an expensive Volunteer Placement Agency and being totally dissapointed, Rebecca was sent to The Volunteer Visitor Center which is provided by The Mountain Fund. The center is in in Thamel across the street from KEEP and from Hotel Dynasty. Our center helped place her with a pleasant and rewarding volunteering experience. Here is her response:

"Hi there!
I just wanted to send a another big thank you to all of you (Scott, Sunita, Kath, Sushila, Bibu and Krittan) for your hospitality and all of the help, work and kindness you showed me in Nepal. It REALLY made a huge difference to my entire experience in Nepal and it is making me more inclined to visit once again. I am really inspired by all the work Mountain Fund is doing in Nepal and I have a huge amount of respect for each and everyone one of you. In the beginning of my trip, I never thought I would ever hear myself saying that I would come again to Nepal, but after meeting all of you I would be silly not to come again. Hopefully we will all see each other soon until then, I hope everything will work out, and I hope the monsoon season will not be too wet this year! Take care!-Rebecca"
