Volunteer Society Nepal : The best experience for volunteers, the best value for Nepal.
Dr. Jan Bakker (Holland), Mr. Stijn van der Heide (Holland), Ms Pam van der Heide (Holland), Mrs. Sivane Gaia Gorny (Israel), Miss Sanna Nauta (Holland) were among our several other volunteers from different nations during April/May 2016, who preferred to dedicate their time, knowledge & effort at unspoiled nature with the beauty of snow-capped mountains, and enjoy living with warm and welcoming village people at Salleri.
Salleri is about 2,240m above the sea level at the eastern Himalayan region of Nepal where the World’s highest mountain, Mount Everest stands. The quickest way to get to this tiny Himalayan town of Salleri is to take a flight to Phaplu and then a short trek. The road has been constructed recently and regular jeep service takes about ten hours to reach this beautiful place.
Dr. Jan was involved in health care activities at Garma health post, schools and local communities for four weeks. With the fund (Euro 3000) which he raised in Holland, he donated a set of computer, several medical equipment & medicines at the Garma health post. He donated stationary goods to the Buddhist monks at the monastery, fund to the local community to help in ongoing construction of Bhaivav temple and also helped Mt. Everest English School at Salleri. He also donated some fund to the Centre for Children with Intellectual Disabilities in Kathmandu.
Mr. Stijn laid down his pen & papers and took up hammer, nails, abrasive sheet & paint brushes to help the paint project of Mt. Everest English School in Salleri. Ms Pam was involved in teaching at the same school. Mr. Stijn donated all the necessary paints, tools and Ms Pam donated educational toys, books and stationary to the Mt. Everest English School at Salleri. They have raised the fund  from their friends and families at their home country for this noble job.
Mr. Stijn, together with some local workers applied fresh paint at the ongoing construction of low cost new school building and gave a complete face-lift of the structure.
Pam & Stijn also helped repair and clean the water filtration system at the Sushila orphanage. Pam volunteered at Sushila orphanage in Kathmandu for few weeks. She helped the orphaned children with their home works, taking & bringing the children to and from school, helped the children in fun activities and day to day care.
Ms Sivane & Miss Sanna were involved in teaching English to the Buddhist monk children at the monastery in Salleri. Sivane, artist by profession, helped the monks learn the art related creative activities.
