WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HELP?: Excellent! I loved your honesty, ie. being really down to earth about what to expect, but equally it was so so so much better than what I had imagined from your briefing materials!!! And thanks for your support whilst I was out there Jim. The school are really grateful for your help.(Charlotte Cotton, Spituk Monastery School: 2012)
I want to let you know that I have looked at a lot of volunteer organizations since I did your program and you have (as far as I can tell) one of the best. I really like how much you personally care about each volunteer and each school.
HELP is rare for an organisation offering volunteer teaching in that it puts the needs of the local people before the desires of the western person wanting ‘the experience’.
I think it’s a great organization. I’m really impressed with how small and focused on each project HELP is.
By becoming a HELP volunteer in India or Nepal you will be able to make a direct, personal contribution to the education of young Himalayan people. In so doing, you will be having an unforgettable experience in a new and fascinating world.
I think HELP is the volunteer organization that I looked for for a long time. It is the most easily accessible and responsive organization I found on the web. I really like the self donation to the school and how independent it requires its volunteers to be, unlike many other organizations.
Volunteering with HELP offers all the good things of working with a small, personal organisation: in-depth local knowledge from the HELP organisers, and the feeling that one is doing something for the first time.
