Childhome with so much love - The Love Company in Pokhara

In January my bpyfriend and I started our volunteer in Nepal at The Love Company. After a long flight we arrived in Kathmandu where we had one night before we took the bus to Pokhara where the orphanage is located. Krishan the manager of the Love Company arranged a pick up from the airport and the accommodation. Everything was really good planned and organised. After one night in Kathmandu took the bus to Pokhara.

After around 7 hours bus drive we arrived well and were friendly welcomed from Krishan, the manager and owner of the orphonage. He brought us to the guesthouse where we stayed for our volunteer time. The guesthouse was good located, only 5 minutes from the lakeside and Krishans home and 15 minutes to the childrenshome. Breakfast we always had at Krishans home and dinner at the orphanage. After some instructions we finalls went to the childrenshome. From the beginning the kids were very very lovely, nice and open minded. After a few minutes we already felt in love with them. They are all very happy, healthy and thankful for living at the orphanage.

Our tasks were bringing kids to school in the morning and picking them up in the afternoon, helping them with homework and enjoying freetime together with different games. Moreover we prepared the garden for growing their own vegetables and supported other upcoming works at the orphonage. It was always a good a atmosphere between the kids and the staff and we enjoyed every second with these lovelies. We laughed a lot and had a really great and unforgetable time together. All kids are so happy and healthy and that is the most important point.

It was a wonderful experience for which we are very very thankful. We really can recommend volunteering at this place. We also think about to repeat it. Thanks to Krishan, the staff and the kids for this unforgetable time.

Dear readers, I came a cross to this website Abroad Review and would like to mention few things about The Love Company Orphanage. I have volunteered here for one and half month in October to middle of November, children at the orphanage were amazing, healthy, good behaved and with lots of smiles. I have volunteered in many other orphanages to there is lots of children rights taken care of, there is lots of need for the children due to lake of big organization connection to support children. This organization runs and depends on volunteers programs fees. so please if anyone is interested to volunteer in Nepal it will the best place to volunteer.
Happy

The love company orphanage has given me an unforgettable and inspiring time in Nepal, although I originally intended to do the English teaching project through rcdp I ended up at the love company orphanage and wouldn't have wanted it any other way! I was very warmly welcomed by the orphanage's founder Krishna Pokhrel and his wife Parvati, and really enjoyed spending breakfast with them every day. I learnt a lot about Nepal and got great advice on what to do with things outside of my project such as trekking. They are passionate about the orphanage and the children and very loving, open and transparent. Every morning we would walk the children to school though the rice paddies and pick them up in the afternoon before playing with them and helping with homework. I've enjoyed and cherish every second I've spent with these 14 wonderful children, all so unique and different and with such spirit and personality. I felt like I was making a difference by giving them individual attention both playing and with homework, which they off course lack in the daily orphanage environment.
Cannot wait to come back in the future, thankyou so much for this experience, would recommend coming here to anyone!

I volunteered at the Love Company Orphanage in the Fall of 2012. I was very impressed by the kind and loving atmosphere at the orphanage and the excellent care that the children receive. I had very comfortable accommodations as well as plenty of opportunities for socializing after hours. It is pretty easy to meet people in Pokkhara as it is a popular tourist destination.
Prior to my volunteer experience, I did extensive fund raising in order to have more of a positive impact. Mr. Krishna Prassad Pokhrel gave me a list of what was needed at the orphanage. Then, together, we prioritized based on the amount of money we had. I was able to purchase mattresses, bedding, clothes as well as staple foods for the children. Additionally, I purchased fresh fruit and vegetables every day to complement the children's diet. We also went for pizza on my last day there. Mr. Pokhrel made sure that we got the best price for the things we purchased.
Everyone at the orphanage is very kind and has the children's best interest at heart. They recognize the importance of education, ensure the children are studying hard and work with the teachers at the school to keep them on the right track.
I have very fond memories of my time in Pokkhara and highly recommend this organization to anyone looking for a wonderful volunteer experience with some very special children.
