Volunteers and interns and children’s club’s executives in these clubs, assist individuals in developing their innate creativity, while increasing their awareness of community issues such as health and the environment.

“Public Speaking training given by VIN is very effective. We learn how to speak in front of a large group of people. It helps our personality development.”
Reshma Lama, Treasurer of Tarkeshwor Children’s Club
“Children’s Rights Advocacy training is very useful for children. We know about children’s rights and responsibilities; we became able to advocate in case of children’s rights suppression.”
Suman Nyupane, past president of Jitpur Children’s Club`
At VIN we regard children as the pillars of a nation, as it is through them that the future is realized. The organization primarily focuses its programs on exploring the uncovering the potential of all children from our working catchments. VIN mobilize its local and overseas volunteers to facilitate the smooth functioning of Children Clubs in community / public schools where children can participate in a variety of stimulating activities.
The clubs have been essential in nurturing children so that they have the best chance of developing their life skills. Clubs not only offer new learning opportunities, but also provide an environment where children may take strengths to new heights. International and local volunteers have been supporting youth development work in Nepal by organising various activities like Children’s Club Strengthening Workshops, interaction programs, life skills camps, career development programs, Magazine publications (including creative articles).
The outcome has been outstanding! – Children have been publishing magazines, making improvements to their school environment, conducting various competitions of their own, and performing community dramas and rallies for child rights awareness. Success lies in the freedom given to the youth to integrate their traditions By volunteering within this program you are supporting the Nepal of tomorrow, a place where every child may flourish.
