Teaching at an orphanage in Pokhara
Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world. Long-term political instability has caused many problems. The civil war in Nepal led to the death of a large number of people. Many children lost their parents in the war and became orphans, displaced and homeless. It is estimated that there are about 20,000 children living on the streets in Nepal. Orphans earn a small amount of money by collecting things from garbage dumps to survive, living in extreme poverty.
Orphanage centers in Nepal have taken in homeless children, providing them with food, education and shelter. Some organizations also supervise the children of parents in prison who have no one to care for them. We hope you can provide services for these children, not just donations.

What our volunteers say about us
This summer is unique. The enthusiasm, adorability, and eagerness to learn of the children in Bali deeply touched us. We enjoyed the entire process of volunteer teaching, laughing, and being joyful just like them, and were deeply moved. Love knows no borders; we helped plant the seeds of English in their hearts, and their smiles made our youth shine brilliantly and beautifully.

Bali
In just two weeks, I dined with the natives, shared watermelon with monkeys, swam in a lake with crocodiles, and lived under the same blue sky with elephants and humble villagers. I still remember the clear eyes of the local little girl. My trip ended with reluctance, and as I was leaving, a young boy said to me 'see you again.' I quickly got into the car, thinking to myself, 'I will come back to see you all.
