Volunteer in Nepal * Nunnery experience ** over 40 years old

I volunteer at Hasantar Nunnery, They have like 60 nuns. I had 2 groups, one in the morning with 6 girls from 10 to 12 years old. The English class was more about helping them to improve their conversation. They can understand vocabulary but it's hard to read and talk for them. In the afternoons I had another group, while all Nuns pray, I was taking care of the little girls, the age range was from 5 to 8 years old, and because they can't still read the prayers, I was playing and teaching English to them. They had adorable girls, but just one was kind of hyperactive but fun. The food was amazing; I loved Nepalis food.

I learned about Buddhist prayers, devotion and the way to ask for wishes to Budda. The location is so beautiful and peaceful at the end of the mountain. But sometimes it was hard to go down to the city because I went in the Monson weather and the roads were like waterfalls for some days.

I would recommend the agency RCDP and the experience,I'm already planning to go for my second experience somewhere else.
