This is a great opportunity for volunteers who want to Teach English in Monasteries. There are several Tibetan refugee Camps and Monasteries housing hundreds of Tibetan kids taking Buddhist monk educational training in Kathmandu to preserve the cultural richness of Tibet and Buddhist practice. Knowledge of English can be an enormous help to these kids to explore more scriptures written in English and circulate Buddhist teachings and practices to the whole world.

As a volunteer, you will be placed in a monastery where you will teach English to monks. Depending on the monastery size, you will expect several student monks of 15 with moderate or beginner-level English. The monks study Buddhism as a major subject. English, Nepalese, and others are optional to improve their additional language skill. Volunteers will teach English to the monks, both young and old.

Volunteers can also have a chance to participate in some monastery-run programs like meditation, praying, and other cultural celebrations.
