JOIN OUR FAMILY TO HELP THE NEPALI CHILDREN

"Being involved with INSPIREnepal is more then voluntering. It's making friends for life, it's getting new families and it's expanding your talents. Maud and Sanju are just beautiful (host)people who will show you around their projects and who will let you participate. Spread the word and come making unforgettable moments at INSPIREnepal! A big thanks to Maud and Sanju for opening their house and making my time in Nepal extra special!"

"My volunteer experience with INSPIREnepal has been life changing for me. I have made many great friends and had so many memorable moments along the way, and I feel like I have many families in Nepal now. Maud and Sanju are such wonderful people, and they took very good care of everything for me. I really enjoyed working with them, and I will definitely go back again!"

"Had such an awesome time on my first visit to Nepal and a lot of the credit goes to INSPIREnepal. It was well organized and they are quite responsive. The orientation with Maud was much needed, from navigating the streets, to the many traditions that make up their daily lives. She not only successfully organized my stay/volunteer at the Buddhist Monastery but I was also lucky enough to celebrate Tihar and Newari New Year with her and her "family". The personal attention you get from INSPIREnepal is unbeatable and their enthusiasm, insight and love for Nepal and its people are very apparent and contagious. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer."

"What an internship experience would be for 5 months was for only three weeks (corona) Sanju and Maud are really special, kind and inspiring people: Their hospitality is really generous. INSPIREnepal is a beautiful and pure organisation; in my perception. The projects are made full of love and compassion. You feel immediately really at home and accepted. Besides your internship experience you can do many other nice, adventurous and creative things in your free time. Maud and Sanju will always be there to give you tips and advice. And they will give you free hugs and humor. "

"I wish I could have stayed longer, but due to corona virus, still it was amazing. Maud and Sanju were very welcoming and made me feel part of the INSPIREfamily the moment I arrived. Maud supervised our internship an gave helpfull advice and tips. Sanju gave us the insights in Nepali culture. They are thé definition of a power couple and run a beautiful organization that deserves all the love and support in the world. I will definitely be back in the near future! Love and miss you guys!"

"INSPIREnepal is a very pure organisation. During my volunteering in Kathmandu I was able to visit and sleep in the volunteerhouse from Maud and Sanju in the weekends. There we did fun things with each other and with the other volunteers. Maud and Sanju are really hospitable. They really live for helping others and do everything to make it a beautiful experience. For example on my first evening in Nepal I was allowed to go with them to a Nepalese wedding. They will take you to special local places and learn you things about Nepali culture. If you want you can also range activities (hiking, rafting etc.) through Maud and Sanju."

"INSPIREnepal is a pure organization. Unfortunately the 5 months turned into 5 weeks, but what an incredible time. I was received so warmly by Maud and Sanju. Not only during my internship I was well guided also during the weekends we could do fun activities together. I hope to see you soon Maud and Sanju because it was a cool experience!"

"What a fantastic experience it was!! Unfortunately my 2 months adventure became a 3 weeks adventure because of the virus.... as soon as it’s all over I will go back to Nepal to teach English to the monks. And of course go back to Maud and Sanju from InspireNepal where we could spend the weekends and do fun things together with all the other volunteers and interns. I would definitely 100% recommend this company!!! Everything is well organised and they help wherever, whenever they can. Maud en Sanju, I will see you soon!"

"I chose to go to Nepal for one month. I did the voluntary project to teach English in a monastery. It was a great experience and if I needed help or had questions Maud and Sanju were always there to answer them or to help me. They are really involved in their projects and really care about people, the people they help as well as the volunteers/interns. And last but not least: I had a lot of fun in Nepal: During my time in the monastery but also outside of that and of course also with Maud and Sanju! "

"Thank you INSPIREnepal and Maud and Sanju for a great experience in both Nepal and working as a music therapist. Throughout the entire time (5 months) I have felt supported, I could always come with questions, ask for feedback on my work, have supervision sessions, thank you for that. And let's not forget about the weekends, eating the best naan in the world , watching movies on the ceiling, spending way too much time on making a Christmas video, playing wacky games and visiting festivals. Thank you guys for an awesome time! "

"After 4 months spent in Nepal working as a music therapist, I can not recommend these guys enough. I have felt so supported and welcome. I have made some lifelong friends as well as gaining some invaluable professional practice which will inevitably be invaluable, both in my career and in my personal development. This has been the experience of a lifetime. Here's to the next 2 months!"

"Thanks Sanju and Maud for taking good care for me as a volunteer and for the internships at your homestay. You have a great organization, really good organized. You do all the best you can to make us feel at home and at ease. I enjoyed the weekends, the fun, the movies watching while lying on the floor. Eating and laughing together. Take also good care for yourselves too. Until we meet again. Cause I will come back with cheese and teabags! "

"I had the most wonderful time during my internship with InspireNepal! Maud and Sanju gave me a warm welcome, showed me a lot of Kathmandu and were always willing to help with everything. They are very special and warm people who take of their volunteers and their projects. I would definitely recommand InspireNepal!"

"I spent a few weeks with INSPIRENepal and had an incredibly special time. I was immediately welcomed into Maud and Sanju's home as if I was an old friend. They offer you a lot of support during your volunteering time and dedicate time to show you the sites of Kathmandu, drink Chiya and share the best places to eat. There is also a chance to get involved in some of the other wonderful projects they run. If you're considering volunteering in Nepal, I highly recommend INSPIRENepal. It makes for very special memories."

"Love everything about InspireNepal! I've been an intern for 2 months and have learned so much from Maud and Sanju. I felt very much at home in Kathmandu because of their kindness and warmth. I would recommend this organization to everyone!"

"A organization run by two amazing people who really do everything and open up their hearts for all the volunteers and interns who come to their organization. I look back with lots of admiration, a wonderful time in Nepal!"

"It was my very first time volunteering in Nepal and I am really glad that I have chosen INSPIRE Nepal. I spent 8 weeks in Kathmandu and had the most amazing time! Not only did I get to experience integrating with the locals, I also had a little INSPIRE family that was always there for me. Maud and Sanju are the kindest people that I’ve ever met. They were always available and attentive.. and they make a perfect team! Thank you guys so much!! See you guys real soon, I’ll be back."

"I have been with INSPIREnepal for 2 months and I had an amazing time. It's very personal and they are making sure that you feel comfortable at your new home and at the volunteering project. It feels like you get an extra family. You get a really Nice experience with the Nepali culture. They can tell you all about it and You get the opportunity to see and experience the traditional rituals at the festivals. I only can say good things about INSPIREnepal and I would recommend it to everybody. It is a chanse to dive into a beautifulI culture guided by really nice people. Again thank you so much for everything."

"I’ve been with INSPIREnepal for 5 months during my social work internship and I have nothing but good things to say about the experience! Their way of supervising is very personal and they help you every step of the way to make the Nepal-experience as rewarding as possible! With trips to Chitwan, going rafting and arranging a Thangka painting workshop, they gave so many possibilities to enjoy Nepal next to my internship, that I feel that I really got to experience this country at its best. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me and I hope to visit the Inspire-family again next year!"

"I am so glad that i had the chance to meet these wonderful people. The way they run the (small) organisation is truly wonderful and inspiring. Their personal approach with everyone, not only the volunteers but also their network in Nepal gave me the feeling of having a family away from home. They are doing everything they can to improve the lives of the people they work with, and i was really happy i could help with this. It was great to see what they already have achieved and to be involved of some of their ongoing projects. If you get the chance to work with Maud and Sanju, doubt no second to take it! "

"Being a volunteer at INSPIREnepal was one of the best experiences of my life and I just can't wait to go back one day! INSPIREnepal is a small organisation, so you get a lot of personal attention. From navagating you through the dusty streets, to picking you up in the rain to play some Jenga. Everything is possible with Maud, Sanju & Razu and they do everything with so much enthusiasm. They're such lovely people! The children home where I stayed was wonderful. The kids of the Gonykap children home were all very sweet and behaved well. The housemother and father were amazing and did everything to make it feel like home. I still miss it every day."

"What a amazing time I had in Nepal. InspireNepal is a small organisation that has and supports several beautiful projects in Nepal and I had the chance to join one of them. From a lovely arrival, Nepali lessons and my new (Nepali) Family where I lived for two months I got to work at a small school for children with a disability. As a Physical therapist I got a lot of freedom to train kids and work together with the staff on new projects in the school. Beside de lovely people that helped me I want to specially thank Sanju and Maud for the great thing they do throughout Nepal!"

"This was a truly amazing experience. Teaching english at the women's school taught me more than I could have imagined and I will miss those women a lot. And my host mom, was the best Nepali sister you can ask for. Maud and Sanju are the golden couple for an organisation like this. Sanju can explain everything about Nepali culture and khana (food!) and knows about all festivals in the region. You will definitely experience one of these amazing festival days if you spend some time here. And when you have had enough of the eastern atmosphere at one point, Maud is there with some healthy western jokes and down to earth point of view. You guys rock! With INSPIREnepal you will be certain of an amazing volunteering time, but your Nepal experience will be so much more than that. So don't hesitate any longer. Just go!"

"I really had some amazing months in Nepal. As an intern music therapy of Maud, I got many chances and opportunities to develop and explore myself. Thank you so much Maud and Sanju, for making me feel like family. You are two wonderful people!"

"Being involved with Inspire Nepal was a truly amazing experience, one I will never forget and thank u to Sanju and Maud for making the experience more special and for welcoming us in. May 2017 be an even better year for you all!"

"It is an amazing ONG, they will help you with everything before and during your stay in Nepal!"

"Sanju and Maud make a great team and being involved with INSPIREnepal was one of the highlights of my time in the country. I never felt I was unsure of anything and could always ask questions if I needed to. A great organisation and I'm sure it'll only get better! Thanks to the both of you!"

"INSPIREnepal lives up to their name. Their projects are really inspiring. People are accepted, brought together and bonded. Not only the volunteers but also the people from hun projects are always supported. The passion Maud en Sanju have for their organization is contagious. Their personal attention towards every volunteers make everyone feel like Nepal is their second home. Dear Maud en Sanju, I wish you all the best with INSPIREnepal, you guys desevere it!"

 

"Unforgettable moments; that's the best description you can give to INSPIREnepal! Sanju & Maud are amazing people, ieverybody become family. They will help you to make it comfortable. I will come back next year! Dhanyabad"

"It was 2016 when I was in Nepal and had the most amazing experience with Sanju, Maud and INSPIREnepal. We started a project for his home village Chovar. We renovated the community house and were able, with a lot of help and support from family and friends from home, to build a whole library for the children there. This feeling of being able to help and support with little effort was a life changing experience. The days before I left I was invited to Maud and Sanjus home. We cooked Nepali dinner at home and went to the market. Still, when I feel I‘m missing abroad too much, I cook this dishes and feel back in Nepal. I‘m so greatful that they both let me in and made me feel welcome all the way. I experienced the "normal" Nepali life which is truly amazing. "

"Our experience with INSPIREnepal is unforgettable. Right at your arrival you feel welcome in Nepal but most definitely with INSPIREnepal. An organization that gives you the feeling that you are visiting your family. Maud and Sanju take you along the culture and rituals of Nepal, it makes you closer to the projects and people. Sanju explains everything that you want to know with enthousiasm. For your daily dose of humor, you’ve got Maud. It doesn’t matter if you do a project for a day or longer, you really get to experience the world of the Nepali. Welcoming, warm and gratefulness are the feelings you will experience. We experienced INSPIREnepal as personal, warm, dedicated by love and enthousiastic organization. We are already longing to go back to Nepal and to our dear friends Maud and Sanju."
