Nepal

Our center in Kathmandu is a hub of community activity. Our organic garden provides food for children in local organizations, and in the evenings the community children use our yard as a play ground. The center provides a fantastic atmosphere to learn about Nepali people and their culture.

Our summer projects this year are focused on providing much-needed support for local orphanages. We will be helping to build new classrooms and accommodation, cleaning and painting existing structures, and adding new play facilities. Daily work will include mixing cement, carrying bricks, general clean-up, painting, basic construction and other general labour. Gloves and other basic equipment (other than footwear) will be provided on-site.

Project Dates: July 9 - 23, 2010

Price: $1,390.00

Accommodation
During the orientation weekend and week of project work, the group will be living at our center in Kathmandu. The BaseCamp Center in Kathmandu is located in Khusibu (only a few blocks from the famous district of Thamel). Within easy walking distance of banks, restaurants, net cafes and more, our BaseCamp Center in Nepal is perfectly situated.

The center has ten dormitory style guest rooms, and five washrooms. Pillows, sheets, blankets and towels are provided. There are several open common areas. These include including a small resource center, containing books, magazines, games and other Nepali publications; an IT center with guest computers; a large selection of local movies and documentaries available for guest viewing; a rooftop patio with a great view of Kathmandu; and a large yard and garden.

Meals
Meals are prepared and served at BaseCamp each day during orientation and the week of project work. The menu consists of local dishes, and can be modified to make accommodations for any allergy or food restrictions(with advance notice). In addition to the delicious meals prepared and eaten at BaseCamp, you will also be provided with a packed lunch to bring with you to the project each day.

Transportation
Transportation to the placement and back each work day will be via public transportation, with a BaseCamp staff.
