The Bir gang v

I also experienced the stunning beauty of Bir, but more importantly, I was enveloped with a sense of peace and serenity. I became a part of a welcoming host family, enjoying their traditions, culture and their hospitality.

My volunteering experience has come to an end and I can only say that I am absolutely thankful to have had such an all-encompassing and enriching experience.

Fortunately for me, the journey has not ended as I have been asked

(by the principal of one of the monasteries) to create an English curriculum for new volunteers, so that there will be progression and continuation in the teaching of English there. Being able to give back to the community in this way is just absolutely fantastic!

I recommend volunteering at any juncture of your life; it has the power to change you profoundly.
