May 2024: End of my Voluntary Service

Five months of volunteering in Nepal seemed long, but the time flew by quickly. I am happy to say that it was an extraordinary experience during which I learned a lot about Nepal and its people, working in an organization, and about myself. It's an experience I will never forget and would gladly do again. Of course, there were moments of frustration and difficult periods, but they were quickly forgotten thanks to the hospitality of the Nepalese people, like when I was invited for tea. The work with R4C was varied and always interesting. I learned a lot about the functioning of an NGO and discovered the working differences and similarities with Luxembourg. Another advantage of volunteering in the same place for an extended period is that you create a second home. This was truly wonderful and also helped me learn more about the country and its culture through prolonged immersion. Finally, I am very happy to have had this experience and hope to revisit Nepal soon.

Two SCLC representatives, the director and a former beneficiary, will be in Luxembourg from 24 April to 8 May 2024. They will be taking part in a number of events to meet the people of Luxembourg and raise awareness of the living conditions of Nepalese farmers, women and young people in rural areas, as well as to discuss the transition to more sustainable agriculture.   The ONGD-FNEL, in collaboration with the Lycée Technique Agricole, is pleased to invite you to a conference on the theme of "Education for and through sustainable agriculture" as part of this partner's visit.
