VIN is a wonderful organization. Its entire staff works incredibly hard to help the marginalized communities of Nepal and provide an enjoyable and rewarding experience for volunteers. It was hard for me to be so far away form home in a country very different form my own, but the VIN staff did everything they could to make me feel comfortable. Kathmandu could be an exhausting city with the incessant car horns, mosquitoes, and humid weather, but it also offered some excellent sightseeing. The scenery of the Himalayas was incredible. The children at the orphanage were a joy. Everyone I met in Nepal was very caring and friendly.
