Agriculture

NNSC tends around 3 ropani of agricultural land on the outskirts of Bhaktapur, where the children are also actively involved. This project supports and expands that work. Volunteers with agricultural knowledge, environmental interest, or simply a willingness to get their hands in the soil are welcomed here. The goal is both practical and relational: improving yield, introducing new methods, working alongside the children and teaching them that patience and care are rewarded.

Your role:

- Work daily on NNSC's agricultural land alongside the children
- Share knowledge of sustainable farming, composting, or crop management
- Mentor children in the value of care, patience, and working with the land
- Document agricultural activities and contribute to planning for future seasons

Skills that help:

Agriculture, Environmental science, Working outdoors

We expect a minimum time commitment of at least 2 weeks.

Cultural activities you can access here during your stay include monastery visits in and around the Kathmandu Valley, cultural and heritage site visits to Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, and Bouddhanath, hiking with children in the hills surrounding Bhaktapur, and community engagement with local families.
