Three of the world's ten highest mountains are within touching distance of idyllic Pokhara, the third largest city in Nepal. This beautiful country in Asia will be home while you volunteer on local health-based initiatives. You will be providing health support for people with special needs and assisting in training teachers, health workers and families in order to help the community provide healthcare support where it is needed. How this program makes a difference: You will be involved in both administering immediate medical attention and training the wider community in basic healthcare. This means that the work you do has both immediate and long-term benefits.

Trip of a lifetime with GVI in Nepal
by: Beverley KrotowskiProgram: Volunteer Healthcare Project in NepalI found this to be a trip of a lifetime. The GVI team took excellent care of the volunteers.

When I saw what work GVI has done here in Nepal in the past (including construction), I feel so proud to have ...
