HELPING HANDS HEALTH EDUCATION

HEALTH CAMPS

Seven (7) different village camps mentioned below were conducted from 1992 until 2003.

These village camps are temporarily closed due to current political situation in Nepal. Helping Hands hopes to resume these clinics in the near future and will definitely update this site once we begin the health camps again. You may also call and check with the Head Office in Boulder for information regarding this matter.

Health camps are located in the mountainous and/or rural regions of Nepal. Volunteers live for two weeks in the same manner as the Nepali people.  The participants camp in tents near the clinic and eat traditional food cooked by Nepali cooks.

This program gives medical professionals, medical students, and other volunteers the opportunity to work side-by-side with other foreigners and Nepali health professionals in a Third World setting. Opportunities also exist to present general health education talks and demonstrations in the villages.  At present, volunteers may work in the permanent clinics in Kathmandu or in Khandbari. Volunteers may choose a term of service ranging from 2 weeks to 2 months.
