The facts about caste system:

There are four major castes in Hinduism, In the past Nepalese people were classified in to four major castes.Namely Brahman, chhetri, vaishya and sudra.

Barhmins or highest caste are priest and educators, chetriyas are worrors, vaishyas are entrepreneurs, and sudras are the people who are entitl;e to do lower level works.They also are classified as untouchables. The history of caste system can be traced back to the history in the period of king jayasthiti malla in Kathmandu who brought this system in Nepal..Manusmriti in india originally coined the system in early centuries after Christ.The government of Nepal has condemned th caste system and there are official laws p[prohibiting caste discrimination, The caste discrimination is burring in resent

Time and society is becoming more homogenous but still caste system and discrimination are followed in several parts of Nepal.

High caste-Brahman priest, teachers

Chetri warriors, rulers, landowners

Vaishya Traders, businessman, farmers(depends)

Low Sudra carpenters, smiths, washer men, barbers, shoe makers, tanners and tailors

Castes

The caste system has strong connection with Hinduism. It is believed to have been divinely ordained. The hold of religious belief, with its supernatural explanations of castes itself is essential to continuance od system.

A person is born into a particular caste because of his previous action(karma).it is everybody's religious duty to fulfil his caste duties in accordance with his dharma. Failure to cat according to one's caste duties meant birth in lower caste and finally spiritual annihilation. Men of lower caste are reborn in higher castes if they have fulfilled their duties.

It's important change one's caste status. Once a man born in a particular caste, he remains in it for his life and dies in it. So a caste is hereditary. No amount of wealth and no amount of penance or prayer can change his caste status. Status is determined not by vocation but by birth.

The choice of mates is caste system is generally endogamous. Members have to marry within their own castes. A member marrying outside his caste is treated as ouit5 caste.

The other major groups of people are defined ethnically rather than caste, such as magar, rai, limbu, Sherpa, tharu, gurung, thakali etc.They do not belongs to the caste groups, but are treated as middle caste. Due to lack of historic sensitivity, some people treat Newars as a separate ethnic group.

Health Volunteer in Nepal

A huge number of Nepalese people never receive proper health care in Nepal. The government run health centres established to provide health care to the villagers are very poor in resources and also under staffed. Most of the Nepalese cannot afford to visit doctors as the doctor fees are highly expensive to these poor people. And on top of everything, most of the doctors are stationed in the hospitals of Kathmandu and running their own clinics, many Nepalese are still deprived of health care benefits. The situation in rural areas are even worst in the absence of doctors and other medical staff.
Qualified volunteers are needed to reach these needy people and address their problems. This project of Multi Explorer Nepal is an endeavour to reach the needy and disadvantaged people in Nepal.
Moreover, the doctor-patient ratio is very poor, with one doctor caring for approximately 16,000 patients-even in cities. The lack of availability of qualified health care workers has resulted in many health problems in Nepal.We・@ receive lots of requests from local facilities for Internists, Urologists, Surgeons, Oncologists, Ophthalmologists, Nurses, Dentists, and EMT's. You will play a critical role in the villages and towns where you'll serve.

Your role as a Heallth Volunteer

Volunteering in an orphanage in Nepal

A huge number of poor and disadvantaged orphan children without homes are given refuge in orphanages and shelter homes being run by various non-government organizations throughout Nepal. These are distressed children who come from difficult circumstances that detach them from the joys of childhood. These orphans require love, care, affection warmth and education. Multi Explorer Nepal provides support to the underprivileged and uncared for children to alleviate their suffering by helping them live a dignified life. We do this by supporting the work of orphanages in various part of Nepal through the placement of international volunteers to work and help and also provide grants for education for children living in those orphanages.

In the least developed countries like Nepal where millions of children can not eat, get clothing or education, we are trying to help at least some of them so that they can at least find the true meaning of life. Today's children will be tomorrow's Parents. So, this movement can go on and on. We believe that good children can make the good society and also the better world to live. Orphans are deprived of many opportunities necessary for their development. Your little help as volunteer at an orphanage in Nepal can be of great significance for these children, helping to make their present secure and future promising. Spend time with them. Receive their warmth and affection. Tell them stories. Share their dreams. Working in an orphanage in Nepal is a truly fulfilling and enriching experience.

As an orphanage volunteer in Nepal, you will teach the basics of the English language and help orphans with life-skills, health education, games, and by drawing and painting with the children. By working with orphaned children, you will be molding the young minds of talented, blossoming, charming children. The general role of the volunteer will be to act as an older sibling: to care for, look after and encourage the children. As a volunteer you may also organize tours, games, drawing classes, singing, dancing, painting and other activities that children enjoy. Volunteers will be placed either in orphanages or host families near to the orphanages, where they will spend most of their time with the children, assisting them in their day-to-day routines. The children are mostly between the ages of two and fifteen and have a basic understanding of English.

These children are in unfortunate positions in life, and the impression that you leave on them will remain for the rest of their lives. This volunteer work is a great mission and provides a real, life-changing experience for you as well as the children. When you get involved in this program, you will be teaching these innocent children what it means to have someone who cares for them.

For this reason this small charity organization is working to change the lives of poor orphans and abandoned in the community. We need your help to succeed.

Teaching English in Nepal

Most of the public and government schools in Nepal are resource poor, under staffed, and the English level of the teachers also not up to the mark. All the schools in Nepal, from public, private to boarding schools also put stress on English education. The students of private schools are better in their English standards compared to public and government run schools. Due to the very high school fees, most of the people in Nepal cannot afford private schools and they are destined to public schools where the level of English education is very poor. All the schools in Nepal have their own curriculum and volunteers teach English based on it.The children of Nepal are very keen to learn and improve their conversational English.
Most of the time, volunteers in the teaching sector work as instructors of English of school children. Teaching in Nepali schools as volunteers is very charming, fulfilling and rewarding. Teaching placements are available in both public and private boarding schools. English teaching volunteers do not necessarily be native English speakers. Fluent English speakers with or without formal teaching experience may also contribute greatly to the children’s educational development. Our teaching placements are available in various schools of Kathmandu, Chitwan, Dolakha and Pokhara. As a volunteer you will give your students career chances a boost and watching them grow during your time overseas. You will have the opportunity to gain the confidence of the students and their guardians thereby becoming like a member of the local community.
Volunteers while teaching English to the students can also assist the teachers. Apart from teaching English, volunteers can also teach extra curricular activities to develop the perceiving power of the children and also help in the administrative works.

As a teaching volunteer in Nepal you will be:

Teaching and tutoring children in English, math and science. (2-3 hours a day) in public or private school for six days a week. Most of the students of the school age between 6 and 13
Volunteers will be assisted by other teachers of the schools
Developing a creative environment for children through crafts, games and sports.
 Assisting with creating low-cost teaching material
Organizing games, drawing, singing, dancing, and other creative education and extra curricular activities
Taking kids on educational tours
Helping kids to do homework, monitor academic progress
