Lhasso Adventure has built up collaboration with World Challenge and Mother and Children Art Foundation since 2009, hosting teams from different parts of the world to do community projects in Nepal. Lhasso Adventure will provide you with an experiential learning program that combines international travel, intercultural exchange, stays with local families, volunteering, community service work, and outdoor adventure. With over 9 years of experience in organizing volunteering trips all over Nepal, we can provide 24-hour operational support to expert teams and maintain high standards.

Volunteering in Nepal can be the perfect combination of helping those in need and experiencing amazing trekking in the tallest peaks in the world.

The aforementioned team lived for three days within the community of the school, while helping them to rebuild part of the classroom, teaching English to the students, and playing with the children.

At their arrival, the team received a welcome, and the teacher held a brief speech.  After the ceremony, the team decided on the tasks to work on in the school: fix windows, paint, make murals, and fix the height of the wall. Afterwards, the team was taken to the nearest handcraft shop, 25 minutes from the school, to purchase some materials and tools.

Later, the team joined a cooking class with locals to prepare momo (Nepali dumplings) and visited a local Market.

As a farewell, the teacher gave a speech to thank the team for their work, and some flowers with red tika on their forehead were given. The experience was great, not just for the team but also for the community itself, as the students can now enjoy a better environment at the school.
