Nepal is a magical Himalayan country with an unusually diverse landscape. Eight of the world’s ten highest mountains, including Mount Everest, are found in Nepal, making it a haven for trekking, mountain biking, and hiking. The country is also known for its national wildlife parks, jungle safaris, river rafting, and its many beautiful temples and places of worship. Nepal offers visitors a mix of ancient and modern with common sites like cows walking down the streets, Buddhist monks talking on cell phones and local children playing on 1000 year-old temple ruins.

The population of Nepal is approximately 27 million people; almost half of them are under 18 years old. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, most people living on less than $1000 a year. Almost 80% of the population still makes a living from agriculture. The rate of unemployment is almost 50% and poverty levels are very rampant. Nepal’s youth is quite large, accounting for almost half of the population. Many children are orphaned, abandoned, homeless and living on the streets.

Our orphanage program, located in Lalitpur (Patan) provides children with basic necessities like education, food, shelter, health facilities, in a nurturing community environment. Our programs allow you to take part in meaningful community service work, while discovering the people, sights, smells and tastes of Nepal.

This is a great opportunity to make life-long friends, learn a new culture from the inside out and discover that one person really can make a difference.

A Broader View Volunteers offers project placements throughout the world to globally-minded individuals searching for a unique travel experience. Our programs grant you the opportunity for cultural immersion and the means to make a difference. Our projects are based in third world countries and our goal is sending capable hands-on voluntary support to create self-sustainable communities.

Our organization, A Broader View provides an opportunity to do something so rewarding, that we guarantee you will never forget it. Not only will you get the most fulfilling experience of your life, you will:

• Give something back to the less fortunate in the world
• Build your self confidence and independence
• Experience a whole new culture
• Gain foreign language skills
• Experience a new location from the inside out.
• Build your resume and gain work experience
• Discover hidden strengths and skills
• Expand your global horizons

A Broader View Volunteers is based on the idea that one person can make a difference. By donating your time and skills to a hands-on volunteer project at a grass roots level you too can make an immediate impact. We partner with local NGO’s, private institutions and community organizations throughout the world. An extensive amount of research and time go into each program to ensure the best quality and safety of our destinations, accommodations and projects. Project sites, housing and host families are continuously monitored. Our local partners, like ourselves, are dedicated to providing our volunteers with outstanding service; a quality project and 24/7 support. We work with local partners who are community activists knowledgeable in the needs of their society and offer insight and guidance to our volunteers.

ABV offers affordable program fees. We know you are donating your time and money to volunteer abroad. There are transportation costs, visa/vaccinations expenses to consider, then your everyday living costs while you’re away. Since the living costs are generally very low in our host countries, our program fees reflect this. A Broader View strives to offer all people the opportunity to live and work abroad, to experience life from a different point of view and have a life-changing experience

A Broader View Volunteers provide a safe and unique opportunity to truly experience a new culture, learn a foreign language, make life-long friends, enhance your resume AND have a life-changing experience.

Why a Volunteer Vacation?

Volunteering while traveling abroad adds a satisfying dimension to your overall experience. Volunteering creates a feeling of personal satisfaction. It grants you a privilege not afforded to the typical tourist: a unique opportunity to experience local everyday life while making a positive impact. Volunteering abroad immerses you in a new culture which improves your language skills, gives insight of a culture from the inside out and hopefully broadens your view of the World.
Volunteering abroad can be both challenging and very rewarding. It takes a special kind of person and not all are suited for it. The lack of home comforts and infrastructure that many fortunate people brought up in developed countries take for granted can be a strain for some. There are many cultural aspects that you may find unreasonable and puzzling, that you will need to adapt to. The hosting countries of our programs have vastly different practices, attitudes, approaches to life, and language(s). There is the inevitable culture shock of living and working in a non-western country which one can not really prepare for. If you see these new situations as exciting challenges to overcome, rather than barriers, you are on the right track for a successful volunteer program abroad.

Have you ever considered doing one thing during your life that would make a complete difference to a child less fortunate? Have you thought about volunteering – a week, a month or even a year – your time in an overseas orphanage or school? What might seem to you an insignificant amount of time means everything to a child with little – or nothing. If you answered yes to any of these questions, a volunteer vacation may be just for you.

Imagine this:

There are approximately 350 million child-slaves in the world; millions of war-victim children; and starving, abandoned little victims everywhere! The International Labor Organization estimates that 352 million or 23 percent of all children between 5 and 17 years of age were actively working in the year 2006. This is reality – perhaps not in America, Canada or the UK – for millions of children around the globe.

The amount of orphans in the world is staggering. In our host countries where we offer programs, there are over 200,000 Chilean orphans, over 2 million Peruvian street children living in extreme poverty, and an estimated 8 million AIDS orphans in Uganda, Kenya and Ghana.

According to the ONE campaign, “Around the world, more than 100 million children are not in school and more than 60 million of these children are girls. Whether a boy or a girl, every child deserves the chance to go to school and have a hopeful future.”

Think about this:

• If you woke up this morning with more health than illness… you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
• If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
• If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep…you are richer than 75% of this world.
• If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
• If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

The children of the world need our skills, spirit, time and support. You too can make a difference. There is only one world – and we are all in this together.
Volunteering can be an exciting, growing, enjoyable experience. It is truly gratifying to serve a cause, practice one’s ideals, work with people, solve problems, see benefits, and know one had a hand in them.

“You have not lived until you have done something for someone
who can never repay you” Anonymous

A Broader View Volunteer – Attitudes and Activities

This outline details the rules of behavior that is expected of ABV volunteers, not only by ABV as a volunteer placement organization, but also by our Project Coordinators, the local host families and especially, the projects that we work with.
This guideline is divided into three sections:

1. General conduct
2. During the program
3. Local accommodation

ABV is dedicated to providing responsible volunteer programs. The guideline was created to help volunteers accomplish the most out of their volunteer programs in a responsible and safe manner. We aim to create a harmonious experience for all those involved. Volunteers must agree to follow the laws of the host country, the policies of the community in which they volunteer, and/or the rules of the host family, failure to do so will result in the termination of your program and forfeiture of all program fees.

General Volunteers are required to:

• Follow the rules, advice and policies set by the local Project Coordinator.
• Recognize they are representatives of ABV, and their home country and should act accordingly. Remember this is a chance to be an ambassador of your country.
• Acknowledge that possession of illegal substances is a grave violation of ABV policy, and if discovered will result in the immediate cancellation of your program. Participants are cautioned that the possession of drugs is often dealt with severe punishment by host country law enforcement.
• Travel with an open mind; be respectful to the culture and customs of the country you are volunteering in. This means practicing patience and understanding.
• Understand the alcohol consumption is not permitted in the host family, at the project site or at the local ABV offices. Responsible consumption is expected, gross misbehavior will result in the termination of your program.
• Be aware of the potential hazards of becoming involved in a sexual relationship with local people in the country which you are volunteering. (ie: HIV, STDs)
• Treat all people with respect and dignity, especially the elders of the community.
• Dress properly with regard to the local culture, as well as weather conditions. Realize what is socially acceptable in western countries, can be considered offensive in others.
• Avoid all political demonstrations and activities. Remember you are guests in the host country and subject to local laws and punishment.
• Acknowledge the program and accommodations provided are customized for you and not changeable in country without approval and consent of ABV and our Project Coordinator
• Advise the host family and Project Coordinators of weekend travel plans.

During the program:

You should be:

• PROACTIVE – Jump in and maintain a positive attitude.
• PATIENT – Life in your host country moves slower than one might be used to. Relax and enjoy the slow pace. Remember, not everything is as organized and predictable as life in the US or UK.
• FLEXIBLE – Plans change, roads get flooded, and electricity goes out. Realize that not everything goes as planned, but good intention is always there.
• CONSIDERATE – Respect those around you and be a reliable worker at the program site. Tell your host family if you will be late. Advise the Project Coordinator if you are sick and can not work.
• RESPECTFUL – Remember that the local people you are working with, side by side, do so with little or no salary. They do this work because they believe in it. There are times when you may not agree with or understand the organizations decisions or direction. Although your suggestions are always welcome, your faith, respect and consideration for their long term work and commitment is appreciated.
• FRIENDLY - In order to truly help someone you must get to know them. Do not be afraid to make friends with the local people. Smile, wave and see how fast you are welcomed into the community.
• TOLERANT – The food, the culture, the smells and the sounds will be unfamiliar to you at first. We recommend that you dive in and experience life head-on. You will be surprised at how quickly you will adapt.

Local accommodation

You must:

• Respect the policies of the community and the rules of the host family in which you are staying.
• Ask permission before inviting guest to the homestay.
• Be aware that overnight guests are not allowed.
• Respect the accommodation, and pay for any damage you may cause.
• Keep your room clean and neat. Offer to help with chores around the home.
• Not smoke or use alcohol in your accommodation.

I agree to this terms and conditions

Spring Break? Summer Vacation?

Have you considered a volunteer vacation abroad?

Our organization, A Broader View Volunteers, provides an opportunity to do something so rewarding, that we guarantee you will never ever forget it.

 

We offer affordable, short term volunteer placements in overseas orphanages, schools, medical and HIV/Aids clinics in developing countries around the world. Our volunteers work with children in Ghana, teach English in Chile, support a children’s home in Nepal, build orphanages in Uganda and so much more.

A Broader View programs immerse you in the everyday life of your host. Experience the happiness, struggles, aspirations and dreams of the people you assist – all while discovering the beauty, history and culture of a foreign location. Our programs offer the best of both: volunteerism and a chance to see a part of the world unfamiliar to you. We provide a safe and unique opportunity to truly experience foreign cultures, learn a foreign language, make life-long friends, enhance your resume AND have a life-changing experience.

 

 

For many, March’s spring break conjures images of lazy days in the sun. But what about volunteering and working in the sun? More and more college students are using their spring break to participate in meaningful projects while discovering a new culture. Instead of heading to a crowded beach resort this year, imagine spending a week working at a national park in Ecuador, or alongside HIV activists in Uganda, teaching English to disadvantaged kids in Cusco (Cuzco), or playing with orphan children in Ghana. If you prefer the beach, you can volunteer in Costa Rica in our sea turtle conservation project!

Why not spend your spring or summer break with us?
Make a lasting impact that changes lives and provides you one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.

Here is a sample of one week projects:

Orphanage care in the Volta Region, Ghana for $770

Rain forest conservation in the Amazon of Ecuador for $895

Sea Turtle preservation in Guanacaste, Costa Rica for $925

Teaching English in La Serena, Chile for $795

HIV/Aids prevention campaign in Kampala, Uganda for $780

Children’s Center in Patan, Nepal for $725
