Program Details

Maya Universe Academy
Furthermore, due to the rapid increase of children attending school, we need more and more facilities. Volunteers are guided by local experts, with who they will be able to learn about construction techniques as well as the different ways to use very limited resources.

By helping with construction for a school, the volunteers will be able to enjoy the company of the children during their free time and interact closely with skilled locals. Despite the construction work, volunteers learn and grow from their experience and the children from our school. They gain perspective through the differences in language, culture, and way of living.

Highlights
Embark on an exciting journey building a school in Nepal's top volunteering destination.
Combine adventure with sustainable development.
Experience vibrant Nepali culture and gain construction skills.

Activities & Shift

We start our day with a morning circle following with performances done by the students, teachers, volunteers, and staff. You will have to help together with the construction team from 10 AM to 5 PM. We have a one hour break in between. We also reflect upon the day during the evening after dinner to plan for the next day and make it more effective.
