CHILDREN S SUMMER CAMP | VINWC24-12 | 2024-07-08 - 2024-07-20 | KIDS | Age: 18 - 28

Children s Development is one of the major programs in VIN s Integrated Community Development Approach. The Goal of the Children s development program is to protect the rights of all children by providing them access to basic quality education, developing their life skills and providing access to health services through community health program. Even in recent days in Nepal, schools are focusing on the examination and are doing less to develop the students creativity. Teachers only focus on reading and writing i rote learning. The creativity of children is not explored. Due to the busy work schedule of parents, most of the children do not have the opportunity to socialize and be creative. To provide opportunities to children (aged 6-12 years old) on socialization and creativity, such type of camps is essential. At VIN working area Okhaldhunga, children do not have a proper structure and environment to develop their innate talents at home or school. Children s camp (in winter and summer) is one of the best places to explore their natural talents and creativity. In this work camp, national and international volunteers facilitate different types of fun and creative activities for the target children where VIN works.

Work: The volunteers will conduct children s camp to promote their innate talents and creativity for their overall development, such as physical, mental, social and emotional. During children s camp, volunteers can prepare sessions and take classes on the following topics: Physical exercises, Team Building, Drawing, coloring and painting, Art, Craft and Origami, Singing and dancing, Drama, Music, and Hiking, Teaching language and so on.

Accomodation and food: The volunteers will stay in Kathmandu for two nights until orientation. VIN covers two nights accommodation on sharing basis and simple Nepali-style food. Then they will be with the host family/hostel identified by VIN in Okhaldhunga. The living facilities are simple and basic. Male and female Volunteers will share the same living area with separate rooms. There will be 2-4 people in one room. Volunteers are required to sleep on simple beds. Please bring your sleeping bag
