What we do

Children and youth are the future of the nation. Different Resource Centers were set-up in small communities to offer educational opportunities to some of the poorest regions in Nepal. The Center, often known as Libraries, are there to help the local children improve their English and learn from the many International cultures that the volunteers bring through WE VOLUNTEER NEPAL. The children attend before and after school and educational games and singing and dancing are a great way to get into the spirit of Nepal. Volunteers do not need teaching qualifications to partake in this program, just a passion for children and having fun! Children enjoy new experiences as much as we. So, anything you can bring from home to show them how your life works and culture differs is beneficial. The locations of our Resource Centers ensures total immersion into Nepali life and its culture. Our host families are all located within walking distance of the Resource Centers and the villagers also aid the early morning routines with hot cups of “CHIYA” (Nepali tea). The time spent in the village creates a real sense of community, you live close by, walk through the village everyday, you become part of their lives for a while and with the local festivals and the occasional wedding to attend there is no end to how immersed you become in village life. If that is not enough to satisfy your needs there are local schools we support who are always more than welcoming to receive help from international volunteers. You can give as much or as little time as you like, and classes normally revolve around a curriculum unlike the Resource Center where you are free to make your own lesson plans and bring your own ideas and games to the children.
Volunteers are also welcome to teach different subjects e.g. mathematics, history, science, geography, computer, technologies, music and other subjects. All higher education in Nepal is in English, so it is vitally important that children must learn English to continue further higher education.

Proyecto de Vida Despierta

¿Quiénes somos?, ¿porqué estamos aquí?, ¿a dónde vamos? Estas preguntas nos las hacemos con creciente intensidad porque son importantes para enfocar y dar calidad a nuestras vidas. Los cofundadores de Proyecto de Vida Despierta, Peter y Cynthia Bampton, nos harán una presentación dinámica de la renovadora visión espiritual basada en la idea del despertar evolutivo, en la que se integran la libertad de la contemplación mística en su sentido tradicional, la inmensidad de un cosmos en evolución y, lo que es más importante, la enorme responsabilidad que cada uno de nosotros tenemos en la creación de un futuro nuevo y mejor. En este taller se alternarán los tiempos de presentación, diálogo y meditación. Proyecto de Vida Despierta es una asociación sin ánimo de lucro que está situada en una reserva ecológica bella y salvaje de la Serra do Acor, en Portugal. Se trata de una comunidad ecológica y sostenible, cuyo objetivo es promover la evolución y transformación de la consciencia y de la cultura, en congruencia con el tejido ecológico de la vida. Transformación implica cambio, de manera que si estás interesado en cambiar aspectos de ti mismo/a, de tus relaciones, de tu calidad de vida y del futuro de nuestro planeta, este taller puede ser un catalizador para un cambio profundo en tu conciencia, en conjunción con el respeto y armonía con el medio ambiente. Los facilitadores, Peter y Cynthia Bampton compartirán su entusiasmo por la visión espiritual contemporánea del despertar evolutivo, así como su pasión por cambiar el mundo desde dentro.

Fall part time Permaculture Design Course

Dates: 9 weekends (16 days) from Sept 8th -Dec 9, 2018 What better way to wind down the growing season than to embark on a permaculture design course? During this 100 hour course students learn to read the landscape, analyse problems, and design ecological solutions for the home, garden, or city. The Permaculture Design Certificate is a participatory and dynamic learning experience; classes include in-depth permaculture theory, design methodology, exercises, and group projects. They also include a whole lot of deep questioning, laughter, and growth! The curriculum we follow at P3 was developed by the late Bill Mollison in Australia in the 1970’s, and is today regarded as the standard in permaculture education, recognized and respected worldwide. At P3, our facilitators emphasize that permaculture goes beyond gardening and agriculture. With permaculture we can design solutions for: food deserts, the heat-island effect, and mis-managed waste systems. With edible landscaping and ecological architecture, we can increase the efficiency of our homes, our farms, and our communities. The solutions-based vision of permaculture practice is holistic and regenerative. P3 Permaculture alum have used their PDC to start projects and businesses in permaculture consultation, education, ecological agriculture, regenerative community organizing, urban farming, composting, and much more. The PDC program helps students to closely observe the natural principles and patterns that drive ecological systems. Understanding nature and our place within it is the first step towards healing broken systems. We hope that you can join us!
