I wish Tenzing and his team success. in every step of life.

My experience in HWC has been satisfactory. At the beginning I was a little lost because it was the first time I travelled alone, and in a completely different country. I needed some days to adapt myself to all the new things. Fastly, I felt very comfortable in the school. The people are very friendly and active so it was easy to have a good relationship with the people. The kids from the first day were very friendly. I could enjoy my volunteer experience in few days. At the same time I was enjoying and doing many things, learning a lot from the children and also the other volunteers. In all that time I felt I was learning. They give me many things, I grew up very much during these times. I recommend it very much. Volunteer opportunities in Nepal with HWC was one of the best thing I have ever done.



Regina Jakob, Switzerland 2019, 2023 april

"Volunteering at HWC in Nepal has been the best thing I did in ages! The time there impressed, touched and inspired me deeply. In spite the way of life, the culture and many other things are very different from the ones in my country, I almost immediately felt very welcome, comfortable and sort of at home. The whole time I felt very, very happy and just in the right place. I got so much back from children and the mothers at the school, all the people I met in this beautiful country. The kids are incredible, out of almost nothing they are doing almost everything. It impressed me deeply how mature and independent they are, even the youngest one. Compared to them, the peers in my country are real babies. Their stories are often very sad, but they beam at you, laugh very often, have no fear of contact and their hearts are wide open. But also the women impressed me. Even though their lives are definitely no picnic, they don’t surrender. I admired their courage and their ability to be happy about small things. And then Tenzing: he shows an incredible engagement for the whole project and seems to work for it all day and night. For the children he is like a father in the best and truest sense of the word. And for a volunteer he is the best host you can imagine. He showed us so many wonderful places and was always ready to answer also the silliest questions. With him, you are feeling at ease, safe and very welcome. Thank you so much for everything, Tenzing! I can only highly recommend this place to everybody, no matter of which age. Go there and you will definitely not regret it, you will never forget it and you will come back changed in some ways!"

"I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience. Incredibly full of many emotions, each day a different one. Upon arriving at that school / home, the first thing I saw was how well everything was clean and tidy. Inside what I noticed was the drawings and letters in English along with a schedule where you could see what everyone was doing every hour. The surprising thing is that everyone followed that schedule religiously day by day. The principal is a man very respected by the students / children in the house, the food was very good, the cook a woman’s love. The classes / rooms are very well distributed. Where the volunteers slept, spacious and clean. A house full of Harmony, love and respect. Even when my mother came to see everything with her own eyes, she was almost thrilled at how beautiful everything was. I would not hesitate to repeat the experience, or recommend it to anyone. The director is an exceptional person, with a story behind him, full of love and love for his children. A unique experience."

I will never forget you and i will always carry you in my heart, hope to see you again soon, I will definitely come back…

Muriel grundbacher, switzerland 2017 december

I had a wonderful time in Human welfare committee (HWC) in Kathmandu. The children are very lovely, mature and will inspire you a lot. HWC is a great organization that has already helped so many children and will soon feel like a second home if you volunteer here. Nepal is a beautiful country with an interesting culture. Ask Tenzing if you want to do a trip to another city or the Mountains, he is always ready to help you “

"I did this volunteering experience in HWC and for me it was a life changing experience. Children are amazing and the other volunteers just awesome. I felt like being in a family from the first day. Really recommend this Organization - Tenzing the founder is a very professional person and it was a pleasure for me sharing those days together with them."

kristina , germany 2019 november

I worked as an volunteer in Human welfare committee this November and I really enjoyed the time. The children, the teachers and the founder Tenzing were very nice. I worked there for 4 weeks with children development program. I definitely recommend this place to other volunteers.

Anna g.c. spain 2018 january

I had the opportunity to volunteer at the H.W.C. and I have to say this was very touching / Life changing experience. I had visited some orphanages before arriving to HWC. and I have to say that Tenzing is really meaning to do something for the kids. He really cares for the children ta have an education, nutrition and better opportunities within a safe environment where the children feel loved and they truly are. Now that the project is evolving to facing the challenge of empowering women, I have no doubt they will do their best to succeed in helping mother gain their own resources to support their families. I wish best to them.

Steph walsh, australia 2018 march

Volunteering at Human welfare committee has been a life changing experience. The children are so full of love and life and extremely mature for their ages. Everyone is extremely welcoming and it won’t be long before you are feeling like part of the family. What Tenzing and the team at HWC are doing is beyond incredible and very inspirational. They are really changing lives of these children and have big goals to continue to help more and more in the future. I urge anyone with the time or resources to get involved and be a part of something magical”
