Volunteering
Volunteer at Segyu Gaden Phodrang Monastery
We are very fortunate that when many of our friends from around the world come to visit Nepal they would also like the opportunity to volunteer at the monastery. While medical professionals are always very beneficial to the monastery, there are many areas that are equally as important and accumulate vast amounts of merit. And we will always try to offer volunteer jobs that will match your wishes. Please be assured that even a few hours or one, or a few days of help is so beneficial and appreciated by us. And you can see on the below list there are even ways to volunteer from where you live!
Gompa Caretaker
One of the most blessed jobs is being a Gompa (Prayer Hall) Caretaker. This involves the daily sweeping and dusting of our most sacred space.
Personal Hygiene
Some of our mini monks are very young. They need help in their routine with hand washing, tooth brushing every day and bathing at fixed times.
Housekeeping
As many of our monks are very young they need help in cleaning their rooms, washing toilets and more importantly need help learning how to clean and keep a clean room.
Monastery Maintenance
Whenever 70 or 80 people live in one space there is always something in need of repair. Any handyman skills will always be utilized.
Landscaping
We have several garden areas and are always trying to create more. This is a very creative opportunity for someone with who enjoys gardening. The creation and maintaining of these areas will be enjoyed by people for years to come and this merit will remain and grow as long as the monastery exists.
Medical
Wellness checkups, teaching our senior monks first aid and anything else that will add to the daily wellbeing of our mini monks.
Organising Fundraisers
Organizing fundraisers where you live, such as dinner party or picnic with friends, children’s book collections, silent auctions, sponsorship, etc. or become part our on line fundraising team.
These are just a few of the opportunities to volunteer.
If you have a particular skill that you would like to offer it will certainly be appreciated. And if you have a specific area you would like to learn about during your time at the monastery we will do our best to help you. Please contact us sedgyudguesthouse@gmail.com
