As a volunteer, my stay was short but, due to the willingness and determination of the staff, I was able to pass the knowledge of current teaching and learning methods and issues.
"I’ve recently returned home after spending a few weeks volunteering at Heartland Academy, Kathmandu. What an incredible experience it was! From planning and pre-departure, to arriving on the ground in Kathmandu - I felt extremely supported by Patrick (CEO) and Karan (School Principal). They were both available to answer any questions I had via email and made time to have a Zoom meeting before my departure to ensure I was feeling ready to head to Nepal. I stayed at the hostel onsite at the school - it was clean and comfortable - and the lovely ladies in the kitchen catered for my dietary requirements wonderfully! My time in the classroom was enriching - the teachers were very welcoming and interested to chat about school life in Australia, and were very thankful for any ideas and suggestions I shared with them. The students at Heartland Academy amazed me! From the Kindergarten through to Year 12 - they were all so hardworking, kind and grateful to have me in their classroom helping and talking to them. My time at Heartland Academy has left a profound impression on me, and I am incredibly grateful for The Centre for Learning and Children’s Rights (CLCR) organisation for providing a safe and genuinely caring place to partake in a volunteering experience in Nepal.” I hope the rest of your trip has gone well..
I enjoyed my stay in HA to a level that my initial two month plan became five and my planning for a meaningful experience was fulfilled thanks to the wonderful people I met in and outside of the school.
As I reflect on my time here, more than anything, I am filled with admiration for the work these people are doing here and the very obvious and immediate benefits I can see the students enjoying.
The Heartland School is a very impressive organisation with strong roots in the local community of Bafal, Kathmandu, Nepal. We were very impressed with the quality of education at Heartland and the friendly atmosphere amongst students and teachers.
I can't hope to properly express my gratitude for you allowing us into your amazing school. . It's an unbelievable school with an atmosphere that encourages creativity and a love of learning. I feel very lucky to have spent those days at Heartland, and I could've only wished to have been able to stay there longer
