You only have to pay for your accommodation, transport and entry in Uganda.
If you are still interested write to me at united2uall@yahoo.com

Hi there,
I'm not sure where you want to volunteer, but I am working for an organisation called Volunteer Society Nepal. We are based in Kathmandu and are a wholly Nepali company which means we charge much lower fees than most international placement organisations. You can volunteer for 2 weeks for $400, but if you are here for a month it is just $50/week including all your food and accommodation with a host family. We offer placements throughout Nepal in health, teaching, orphanages, women's groups and also some conservation education programs.
You can see the full breakdown of fees and where your money goes on http://volunteersocietynepal.org/fees
If you are interested then just drop a line to us through the website and hopefully we can work something out.
All the best,
Nick (current volunteer from UK)

Volunteering to Learn (www.volunteeringtolearn.org) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization providing rich volunteer and learning experiences in Nepal. So far, we’ve served the interests of more than one hundred volunteers from various countries.

Our organization builds on the belief that mutual understanding is at the heart of improved relations across communities, cultures, nations, and religions. Through our own experiences both in community organizing in Nepal and with visitors from around the world, we’ve learned that personal encounters and conversations among people working together create some of the best opportunities for mutual understanding.

Our goal is to provide volunteering opportunities in Nepal that make it possible for both hosts and visitors to learn. Volunteers gain a sense of satisfaction from contributing to Nepalese communities, but they also learn language and gain insights into culture, ecology, history and geography. Host families and communities benefit from enthusiastic helpers, teachers, and organizers, but they also learn about diverse cultures and perspectives that help them see beyond stereotypes.

Whatever your interests – language, culture, economics, agriculture, forestry, flora and fauna, history, sustainability, appropriate technology, community organization, leadership, entrepeneurship, children, women, human rights – we can place you with organizations, communities and families that will enrich your understanding of Nepal while also giving you opportunities to learn more specific skills and knowledge.
