My names Wayne Guttridge and i have lived in Nepal for the past three years researching and working. Now i have returned back to the UK to represent a number of volunteer placements at a budget. We have built our website and registered our intentions and have created structured placements relating to Orphanages, disabled centers and schools. But being English and closely connected to Nepal, (married to a Nepalese lady and will live there when my work in the UK is done) I feel that we have to take it a step further relating to the financial side of these placements because a lot rely on a wing and a prayer and it doesn’t give the children stability. Working with my organization I have put together a plan with my Nepalese colleague that each placement must submit how many volunteers they need to cover the costs of running the placements. Our first orphanage has done this and we have an agreement that we should try and place 12 volunteers in a year which will give stability to the orphanage. Then we can concentrate on giving these children a better start in their lives. I am looking at working with people of the same mind who are interested in making a difference. If anyone wants to discuss this please email wayne@experiencehimalayannepal.org Hi, I like what you’re doing in high lighting budget volunteering around the world.
