About the organisor of the Internship program in Nepal
We are a group of Nepalese youths who live in the remote western part of Nepal who work voluntarily for the welfare of the village children. Our village Moi, Koral Khola (please see the link at side to know where it lies) is a small town which lies in the hillside area of Nepal at the boarder of two districts of Nepal namely Doti and Dadeldhura . Our organisation Ambika youth club is a totally non-profit organisation which is fully devoted in social activities and children's education. We may live in the different part of the world but where ever we are, we are working voluntarily for the social and educational development of our village. We arrange different internship programs, au-pair programs and volunteer service in the village area of Nepal. Any one who is interested to " work and live in Nepal village " is hearty welcomed. If you are interested to make an " educational or cultural internship " in Nepal or " a few month volunteer service in Nepal then our village should be your perfect choice. Since we also work voluntarily, our main goal is to learn some new things from foreigners or people from the other part of the country and to give them something from our culture. We strongly believe in the fact that we should learn good things from every culture

Frequently asked questions about internship, volunteer and au pair program in Nepal

1. How long do the participant have to stay and where is the living palace?

   There is not a fixed time that a participant has to stay in our village. It depends on the trainees how long they want to stay. During the stay of the trainees, our village youths organize everything for the participants. They do their bests to make your stay comfortable and easy. During your stay, you live together with any one of the village family who can speak English well. If you want to change the family during your stay, then it is also welcomed. If you are interested to live separately, that would also be possible. You can either eat with the family or you can cook yourself if you are interested to have a private living. All of these things depend totally on individual participants because we would like to respect the way how you like to spend your time.

2. What do the villager eat mostly? What kinds of food will I get during my stay in your village?

   Mostly the villager take Vegetarian foods. During your stay, you will have breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, the living style of the village is very traditional. That is why they have their own time to eat and own type of foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the breakfast, mostly people drink tea, breads which are made in a Nepali style. At lunch time, people eat rice , lentils and vegetables. At evening, they eat breads with butter and vegetables. They also drink milk, buttermilk and yoghurt if they have house animals like cows and buffaloes.

3. Do I have to pay money for the food and living room?

   You do not have to pay money for the food that you get from the host family. However, if you want to eat some fruits which are not available in the house or if you want to cook something else which can not be provided by the host family, then you need to buy them yourself. The village youths will assist you in such things.

4. How long do I have to work if I come to you for an Au pair or internship program?

   In Nepal, schools start at 10 a.m and the closing time is at 4 p.m daily except on Saturday. However, you do not need to stay in the school for the whole period of time. You can teach two to four hours a day and 3 to 5 days a week. It is up to you. Since, you will be new to Nepalese society, you need to learn the Nepalese life style first. That is why we do not want to make any pressure on you. You can decide yourself how long and how many days in a week you want to work. We want you to enjoy your time while you are with us in our village.

5. Is it difficult to work in a Nepalese village? How difficult is it for foreign au pair / trainee to adopt the Nepalese culture?

   In our village, not many people can speak English. Only few people from old generation and the young generation can understand and speak English. In such a situation, one who has not been away from home before, may feel a bit loney at the begining. If you are not already familiar with any foreign culture, there is always a bit difficulty at the beginning to understand and to adopt a new culture and new living style. The villagers themselves from our village can not often travel around the world. That is why the villagers and the village children are always curious when a foreign au pair /trainee comes to our village. They will come around you to know about you. At such a situation, some may feel uneasy if they are not familier with asian culture. But you do not need to worry. Even if not all villagers can express all of their feelings to the trainee (because of language communication), they are very friendly and very welcoming.

   Since our village is a bit far way from the capital and not many people in the village can speak English, we have cooperation with an English boarding school in Kathmandu which also organizes teaching internships. In the school in Kathmandu, only English is spoken and there won’t be any cultural and language problem. Just in case if the au pair/trainee can not stay for a long time in our village because of different culture, language or any other kind of other problems, then the au pair/ trainee can move any time from our village to Kathmandu and can complete her/his internship there.

6. Could a friend join me and go to Nepal at the same time too? Could she/he live in the same family?

   YES, this is also possible and we recommend it if there are not any other au pair / trainee working in our village at the same time when you want to work here. This is just because if you want to do something on your own, then you can organize together with your friend and you are then independent from other’s help. We can assure you that we will do everything we can to make your stay comfortable. However, the au pairs /trainees sometimes want to be independent and spend time on their own way. At such a situation, it would be the best if you come together with your friend. If you come together with the other au pair /trainee, then you can live either with the same family or with a family who lives very close to you.

7. What is the closest airport to that village? And how would I get from that airport to the village?

   There is only one international airport in Nepal which is in Kathmandu. All the international flights are only from and to the international airport in Kathmandu. The closest inland airport from our village is Dhangadi. Dhangadi is a city which is 170 km far way from our village. If you want to make a flight till Dhangadi, we will pick you up from the airport. In Dhangadi, we have organized a host family with whom you will be spending a couple of days in order to get to know the culture and some pre-information that you will need to have during your stay in a village. You will get a kind of small culture training so that it will be easier for you to live in the village.
   If you want to fly till Kathmandu and then take a bus to our village, then you will be picked up from the international in Kathmandu. Our friends in Kathmandu will organize your stay in Kathmandu so that you can get to know the city and around Kathmandu. You visit the city as long as you want. After that you can take a bus to our village which will take nearly 16 hours. It costs not more than 10 euro /14 dollars to travel from Kathmandu to our village. If you hesitate to take the bus alone, then one of our friends will accompany you. At such a situation, he/she may ask you to pay his/her travel cost from Kathmandu to the village at least one way.

8. Since the village isn’t close to a bigger town, is there a doctor in case something happens?

   The district hospital and doctors are located in Dadeldhura which is 30 km far way from our village. There are two hospitals where they also have 24 hours emergency service. Before you start your internship, we will organize your visit to a doctor so that you can get enough information about the precaution. The doctor will instruct you about the foods and things on which you must take care. For example, you should always drink mineral safety water or well-cooked water. In the beginning, it is difficult for a person, to adopt the water and one may get diarrhea soon if you do not take care of drinking water. The doctor will also subscribe you some basic medicines for example fever, headache, diarrhea etc which you can then buy in a drug store which is close to our village. Small illness like diarrhea will be recovered soon if you take the medicine. You can also bring such kind of such basic medicines with you. We recommend you to bring water de-infection tablets so that you can have safe drinking water.

9. What about the danger from all the different diseases I could get there? Could you please write about the possibility of getting diseases like Malaria and others?

   There is no any danger of Malaria in Nepal. There was a problem of Malaria nearly 30-40 years ago. However, Malaria was eradicated many years ago. The possibility of getting any diseases (except diarrhoea) in our village is the same as when you are living in your own city. It would be rather safer because of the good weather and less pollution. However, you may be sick with diarrhoea soon if you do not take care of drinking water. You should always drink boiled water or mineral water. Mineral water can be bought at the nearest city. The villagers will assist you in bringing the water at your home. If you get sick with diarrhoea, then you should tell the host family as soon as possible, they will bring you some medicine (tablets) through which you can recover within the next one or two days.

10. I can imagine that there’s no internet in the village. Is there access nearby or not? How can my family communicate with me? Is there telephone access?

    Yes, you are right. There is no internet access in our village. The closest internet café is in two cities namely Dadeldhura or Dipayal both of which are about 30 km far way from our village. If you need to check your email urgently, you can go there with bus any time. Otherwise, you can make a regular schedule of mail checking one or two times a week.

    We do have telephone facility in the village now. If your parents call to any local telephone numbers of the village, they will inform you within half an hour and either you can call back to your family or they can also recall you after half an hour.
    You can also buy a Nepalese mobile Sim card which you can use in the village. However, you have to be careful when you buy a Sim card. Not all networks have access in the village. Only telecom Sim card can be applicable. When you arrive in Nepal, we will help you to buy a proper Sim card.

" School children of the first class are sitting with their teachers."

school children sitting in their class room.They want to learn a lot but the Nepal government has not provided enough teachers for the school. That is why sometimes, they have to learn without teachers. If you could teach them subjects like english, geography, mathematics and music, they would be very thankful to you.

Currency Pair $92.4 A currency pair is the quotation of the relative value of a currency unit against the unit of another currency in the foreign exchange market. The currency that is used as the reference is called the counter currency or quote currency and the currency that is quoted in relation is called the base currency or transaction currency. Currency pairs are written by concatenating the ISO currency codes (ISO 4217) of the base currency and the counter currency, separating them with a slash character. Often the slash character is omitted. A widely traded currency pair is the relation of the euro against the US dollar, designated as EUR/USD. The quotation EUR/USD 1.2500 means that one euro is exchanged for 1.2500 US dollars. The most traded currency pairs in the world are called the Majors. They involve the currencies euro, US dollar, Japanese yen, pound sterling, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and the Swiss franc.

French Cavalry Have Arrested a Pair of Spies Near Reims in France During World War I $24.99 Robert Hunt French Cavalry Have Arrested a Pair of Spies Near Reims in France During World War I - Photographic Print

Combat Pair $9.95 This report documents the exceptional cross-service harmony that the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy have steadily developed in their conduct of integrated strike operations since the first Persian Gulf War in 1991. That close harmony contrasts sharply with the situation that prevailed throughout most of the Cold War, when the two services maintained separate and unique operating mindsets and lacked any significant interoperability features. The most influential factor accounting for this gradual trend toward integration was the nation's ten-year experience with Operations Northern and Southern Watch, in which both Air Force land-based fighters and Navy carrier-based fighters jointly enforced the United Nations-imposed no-fly zones over northern and southern Iraq that were first put into effect after the conclusion of Operation Desert Storm. That steady-state aerial policing function proved to be a real-world operations laboratory for the two services, and it ended up being the main crucible in which their eventual merger of operational practices was forged. The results were finally showcased by the all but seamless Air Force and Navy performance in their joint conduct of integrated aerial strike operations in the largely air-centric war in Afghanistan in late 2001 and early 2002. They were further dramatized by the similarly near-seamless air-warfare performance of the two services during the three-week major combat phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom that ensued a year later. These real-world experiences suggest that the U.S. Air Force and U.S. naval aviation should now consider each other natural allies in the roles and resources arena, since they did not compete but rather mutually supported and reinforced one another in the achievement of joint strike-warfare goals.

A Pair of Blue Eyes $11.15 Elfride Swancourt is the daughter of the Rector of Endelstow, a remote sea-swept parish in Corwall based on St Juliot, where Hardy began A Pair of Blue Eyes during the beginning of his courtship of his first wife, Emma. Blue-eyed and high-spirited, Elfride has little experience of the world beyond, and becomes entangled with two men: the boyish architect, Stephen Smith, and the older literary man, Henry Knight. The former friends become rivals, and Elfride faces an agonizing choice. Written at a crucial time in Hardy's life, A Pair of Blue Eyes expresses more directly than any of his novels the events and social forces that made him the writer he was. Elfride's dilemma mirrors the difficult decision Hardy himself had to make with this novel: to pursue the profession of architecture, where he was established, or literature, where he had yet to make his name. This updated edition contains a new introduction, bibliography, and chronology.

The Diary of an American Au Pair $13 After losing her advertising job in San Francisco and canceling her wedding (though not her engagement) an unencumbered Melissa, who harbors grand illusions about life in England, heads off to a new job as au pair to the family of a Member of Parliament. But the minorly aristocratic Haig-Ereildouns’ household falls far short of Melissa’s imaginings. Mrs. Haig-Ereildoun refers to Melissa as "her American girl" with a mixture of pride and contempt, expects her to share the children’s bathwater and, most importantly, entreats Melissa to " try to speak as we do." Heaven forbid the children pick up an American accent! But then there is Nanny, the gloriously eccentric octogenarian who raised Mrs. H-E, who offers comfort, and much comic relief; nine-year-old Trevor, Melissa’s charge, whose wisdom and companionship redeem many a lonely day; and her budding friendship with a mysterious Englishman who is miles from her fiancé in every way. Melissa converses with Scotish fishermen, breakfasts with a French Minister of Culture, frequents island castles and sixteenth century manor houses, all the while straddling her ill-defined role (somewhere between houseguest and servant) with humor and grace. Melissa’s immersion in this unforgettable world teaches her more than she could possibly have imagined not only about the culture she has come to inhabit but, most importantly, about herself. From the Trade Paperback edition.

"La Vie En Rose" was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.This is a multi-channel Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players.Personnel: Tony Bennet, K.D. Lang (vocals); Gray Sargent (guitar); Lee Musiker (piano); Paul Langosch (bass); Clayton Cameron (drums).A WONDERFUL WORLD won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. "La Vie En Rose" was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.After numerous live performances and the occasional one-off recording together, legendary balladeer Tony Bennett and contemporary pop siren k.d. lang felt the call to make an entire album together. The fruits of that decision, as heard on A WONDERFUL WORLD, showcase the way in which the pair's styles, ostensibly polar opposites of honeyed sweetness and rough-hewn world-wisdom, complement each other perfectly. Listen to the way the duo's voices intertwine over the light Latin-inflected rhythm of "La Vie En Rose," the soft-and-easy swing of "Dream a Little Dream of Me," or the elegantly orchestrated closer "If We Never Meet Again" (to name but a few high points). That's the sound of two true artistes finding a common point from which each can enhance the other's artistry, a rare thing in any medium.
