Most
of the disabled individuals in Nepal are ignored,
neglected and forced to live in dark rooms,
because most of the family members of disabled
individuals feel shame at having lost the prestige
due to them in the community. As a result, they
are dying in the same room or bed where they
were born. Some of their families members may
also make them beg on the streets. In these
ways the individuals are losing their human
rights.Volunteer Society Nepal provides volunteering
opportunity in Nepal to interested volunteers
from all over the world a chance to provide
great support to the disabled children in Nepal.
Volunteer Society Nepal has been closely working
with care facilities in and outside Kathmandu
Valley who have specialized in caring for these
children. Volunteers stay with a local family,
while spending 6 hours a day at the facility.Volunteers
typically assist caregivers, and provide more
education on care methods where necessary. Volunteers
also work with the children to provide assistance
with therapy, activity preparation, education
on basic health and sanitation, academic assistance,
and general care.You can also help to plan activities
and outings for sightseeing, picnics, cultural
sharing, reading stories and promoting a love
of reading, conversational English with the
children, helping the children with their homework
assignments etc. depending on the children’s
abilities. Based on experience and skills volunteers
may provide vocational Training, income Generating
