Teach English in Tibet Dates: 2009 On our journeys we have made many close friends and we were requested by an prominent Rinpoche for an English language teacher to teach English to young monks and local village students in his monastery in Eastern Tibet . The requirement is that the volunteer must have minimum three months to spend in Tibet . Since this particular posting is to a monastic school, volunteers are needed throughout the year, climate wise the best time will be from July to September. This posting to the primary monastic school is in a remote high altitude area in Eastern Tibet known as Kham. Although living conditions should be expected as basic there is internet and telephone service in the main town nearby (though some places do have mobile phone signal). Daily life in these remote areas can be quite isolated and if you have a friend who also is interested in teaching English, then encourage them to come along to teach in the same area. If you are interested then contact us for further details.

Sky Dancers: Paragliding in Tibet Dates: 2009 This is the beginning - The first Paragliding adventure on the Roof of the World. Wild Nomads is in the process of designing a special summer camp to equip young Tibetans with the skills and training that Paragliding flyer demands. This will enable Tibetan sports enthusiasts to be educated in this sport to become pilots and offer Paragliding services to the growing tourist industry in Tibet . The first stage will be experienced instructors and coaches passing their skills to the trainees. The second stage will be the students hosting their teachers as their guests by inviting them to Paraglide in a location in their homeland chosen by them based on their familiarity of the land and their newly acquired paragliding skills. The final stage will be to regroup and form Sky Dancer Tibetan Paragliding Club and provide the new Tibetan Pilots with the start up equipment and business guidance. This is still in the development process and if you are interested in joining or sponsoring the event please contact us to register. |
