by: Stephanie JuenglingProgram: Women's Empowerment Project in NepalVolunteering in Nepal was an incredible experience! I learned so much about local culture and ways of life, while contributing in a meaningful way to help women learn English. I also met other volunteers from around the world, and we shared some amazing experiences sightseeing. I would highly recommend a GVI program to anyone, of any age, who wants to travel purposefully.
