Open to all enthusiastic helping hands, Asia Horizon volunteer program in Tibet focuses on language learning, orphanage service and English teaching projects. Tibet provides a vast canvas for volunteers to learn unique Buddhist culture, non-violence philosophy of Buddhism, lovely people and the world's most rapidly transforming economy. Near the cultural capital of Lhasa and the world-famous Potala Palace, we will start Tibetan language, engage in orphanage and school project and become a part of the local community.
Asia Horizon is working for the well being of orphans in Tibet. Many of the children have been affected by sexual exploitation, trafficking or kidnapping. In such terrific situation orphanages are providing shelter for many destitute children. In orphanage they have found a safe and secure home environment. The children living in the orphanage are between 1 and 18 years old. Your small effort will be of high significance as these orphanages are struggling to cover daily living expenses.
Your Responsibility as a Volunteer
As a volunteer, you will prove to be the elder brother/sister to the children. You will work in an orphanage in the morning and evening. In the morning, volunteers help in kitchen activities such as, cooking and serving breakfast to the children; assisting children in their homework and making them ready for school. In the evening, volunteers help in preparing food, playing with children, teaching them about health and hygiene and assisting in their homework. You can engage in teaching English to the destitute and disabled children in School during the day.
Project Skills Required
No specific skill and knowledge are required. However, you must be at least 18 years old and should have knowledge of English for volunteering. In addition, you should have genuine interest, love and passion for serving poor kids. You should also be flexible, committed to work, open minded and self-motivated to learn and serve to the needy children of Tibet. You will be given language and cultural orientation before your project begins.
Accommodation and Supervision
During your project, you will stay in a hotel or a tent in the village (not with a host family, as local authorities in Tibet do not allow it). Our country coordinator will welcome you and introduce to the project. You will also have 24/7 access to our contact person. During this time, participants will spend their valuable time working with impoverished, needy and underprivileged orphan children and getting experience of working with them. You will have sufficient free time to hike in rural areas, participate in local cultural program and interact more with rural Tibetans.
Project Location
Asia Horizon projects in Tibet are located near the cultural capital of Lhasa and the world-famous Potala Palace. You will start Tibetan language and cultural program, engage in orphanage and school project and become a part of the local community. During your free time, you can explore the splendid monasteries, vivid sculptures and solemn stupas that reflect the devotion towards the supreme Buddha. Fascinating rural villages, amazing cultural setting, warm and welcoming people and wonderful landscapes are located nearby our project. Enjoying the local food and dancing with wonderful Tibetan people leaves you a life long memory.
