volunteer in Nepal

I am going to volunteer in Nepal in August 2008 with a Organization INFO Nepal which is a local run Organization.I have read a lot about this Organization and would like to spend my time in an Orphanage home that they are running. If any one has volunteered in this home, please let me know your experience.I really like to teach in a school as well but I am a bit worry about my English as I am from Spain however I can understand a bit Hindi and as I know Nepali language is a bit similar with Hindi.

i went with an organisation called VSN who are part of a wider organisation called GVN. This is a very worthwhile organisation where you can really get involved, it is well run, and the programme fee, which is lower than any other i have seen elsewhere, is put to good use, every penny of it!

INFO Nepal offers affordable volunteer placements to people from all over the world in the field of Teaching English, Health and Sanitation, Environmental Awareness, Internship, Cultural Exchange and assisting Orphans. INFO Nepal is a registered locally based volunteer organization running by local people. INFO’s mission is to provide volunteers with a customized program that will enable them to make an important contribution to the people of Nepal, while gaining an in-depth experience of Nepalese life style and culture, that will stay with the volunteers for the rest of their livesPlease visit our website www.infonepal.org for more information.
