Nepal was the very first South Asian country I’ve ever been. Though I had a culture shock at first and was a little bit worried if I could survive in the different environment, I truly had meaningful experiences with VIN.

I could see how normal Nepalis live, what their government and NGOs like VIN do to improve the basic sanitation and health care system. And It was great to visit not only women groups but the monastery and schools.

For my last few days, I got a chance to collect useful home remedies and Child care information for women and children. I finished putting them in writing and hope that would be helpful.

I thank all staff members of VIN especially Om, the program officer who generously let me stay with her. Though I was an unexpected guest, her family members welcomed and treated me very well. I feel I’ve been close to strong and independent person through volunteering with VIN.

I recommend VIN to someone who wants motivation and unforgettable experience.
