Progetto
The Buddhist monastery project aims to be an exchange between devoted practitioners of Buddhism
and those from other cultures, who can share language and other skills. Nepal is home to both Nepali
and Tibetan monks. Thousands of Tibetan monks have lived in exile in Nepalsince Tibet wasinvaded
by China in 1959. While the Tibetans are now free to practice their religion and express their culture
and heritage, they remain an underprivileged and marginalized group within society.
1) BACKGROUND TO VIN
VIN (Volunteers Initiative Nepal) is an NGO with the
mission to empower marginalized communities
through inclusive and holistic development programs.
This is done through the following project areas:
• Education
• Health and Environment
• Economy
• Basic Infrastructure
Within the above project areas, we conduct the
following programs:
• Women’s Empowerment
• Children’s Development
• Youth Empowerment
• Disaster Risk Reduction
• Environment and Conservation
• Public Health and Medical Car

2) COMMUNITY INFORMATION
KATHMANDU AREA:
VIN has been working in the Kathmandu community since the start. Education levels and living
standards for women are low.
The main castes in the area include Brahmin, Chettri. There are mixed caste systems in the
communities such as Dalit, Tamang, and Newar which are the most marginalized. The lack of
environmental awareness means that the area is dirty. This has a health consequence, especially since
the Health Service provider doesn’t have sufficient staff or medicine in the area.
3) INTRODUCTION TO THE TEACHING IN MONASTERY AND NUNNERY
Historically, education in Buddhist monasteries in Nepal has focussed on scriptures and beliefs.
Despite a more recent expansion in the scope of subjects, which now include English and Computer
Science, teaching remains rudimentary and standards vary dramatically between institutions. Nepal
holds a significant place in Buddhist history; the country is hailed as the birthplace of the Buddha,
Siddhartha Gautama. VIN works with 13 partner institutions.

2) COMMUNITY INFORMATION
KATHMANDU AREA:
VIN has been working in the Kathmandu community since the start. Education levels and living
standards for women are low.
The main castes in the area include Brahmin, Chettri. There are mixed caste systems in the
communities such as Dalit, Tamang, and Newar which are the most marginalized. The lack of
environmental awareness means that the area is dirty. This has a health consequence, especially since
the Health Service provider doesn’t have sufficient staff or medicine in the area.
3) INTRODUCTION TO THE TEACHING IN MONASTERY AND NUNNERY
Historically, education in Buddhist monasteries in Nepal has focussed on scriptures and beliefs.
Despite a more recent expansion in the scope of subjects, which now include English and Computer
Science, teaching remains rudimentary and standards vary dramatically between institutions. Nepal
holds a significant place in Buddhist history; the country is hailed as the birthplace of the Buddha,
Siddhartha Gautama. VIN works with 13 partner institutions.
According to availability, volunteers will be allocated
Organizzatore
The Buddhist monastery project aims to be an exchange between devoted practitioners of Buddhism
and those from other cultures, who can share language and other skills. Nepal is home to both Nepali
and Tibetan monks. Thousands of Tibetan monks have lived in exile in Nepalsince Tibet was invaded by China in 1959. While the Tibetans are now free to practice their religion and express their culture and heritage, they remain an underprivileged and marginalized group within society.

Organizzatore
This project is actively working for SDG2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGS11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with Mogami no Shoen (MS) since 2021. Accepting farmers deepen their understanding of agriculture and rural areas through "farming experience" and accept volunteers to overcome the challenges of a declining population due to a falling birthrate and an ageing population. The aim is also to create various connections and exchanges between urban and rural areas through the experience of rural life and the dissemination of information from farming and mountain village areas. The representative of MS has been farming in a snowy spring village for 40 years. He has been living on a variety of crops, "rice", "vegetables", "wild vegetables", "kikurage mushrooms" and forests, with a focus on "cage free eggs". He is working energetically to do something about the depopulation of the area, and is planned 10 projects for five to seven days in 2022. The volunteers are expected to revitalize the area.
