High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Nepals recorded history began with the Kiratis, who arrived in the 7th or 8th century BCE from the east to Kathmandu valley. Little is known about them, other than their deftness as sheep farmers and fondness for carrying long knives. The Kirats ruled for about 1225 years (800 BCE300 CE), their reign had a total of 28 kings during that time. Their first and best remembered king was Yalamba Haang, who finds a reference in the epic Mahabharata.The first record of the word Nepal is found in ancient Indian annals such as the puranas from the 4th century A.D where an area known as Newal or sometimes as Newar is mentioned, referring to what is now known as the Kathmandu Valley. However, the area of the sovereign state of Nepal has changed from time to time during its history, expanding and shrinking in area since ancient times.

Working toward women's empowerment enables you to support women in their pursuit for healthy and sustainable livelihoods. Women's groups provide a forum for issues such as family health, women's rights, and access to resources, income generation, and other challenges women face in their daily lives. Volunteers have the opportunity to exchange ideas, collaborate in ongoing projects, teach basic English skills, help with small businesses, and be a positive role model. You can also provide support in many other ways, depending on your skills and interests and the needs of the local community.
VIN has 5 main programmes to empower the local women: 1. teaching English Language 2. Literacy, 3. micro credit and saving; 4. income generative skills training; 5. Forage development.
There are many local women who want to promote English language skills so that they have access of other good career developing resources in the internet. Volunteers can help develop conversational skills as well as writing skills in English. Teaching English for young women gives them chance to help them explore authentic materials in English language. and most of the company seek employees who have good English language skills. If these women learn English, it will help them get better jobs in the market. For this reason English has been a greater need for the young school and college women.
VIN has been conducting different programmes in its working community. We have over 150 women participating in six literacy classes every year. Each class has been facilitated by two young women of the same community. One women programme expert monitors and supervises their works so that all women will learn better. The women also receive additional skills as such, women rights, women health, income generative skills.
Once the women are made literate, VIN provides skills oriented training so that they can generate some income out of it. VIN provided trainings to 81 women in 2007 and they have been associated in 9 different groups. They have been trained in Livestock, incense making, candle making, dry food making etc. They have regular meetings and save some money every month in their saving-credit groups. VIN has trained 45 women this year in organic vegetable farming in June 2008 and has plan to train more women on sawing and knitting, chicken farming, livestock, vegetable gardening, forage development.
All community people use so much artificial fertilizers and the agriculture products are not that healthy so VIN aims to give first hand experience of organic or other ecologically-sound growing methods to the women; help the organic movement which is labour intensive and does not rely on artificial fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides; give people a chance to meet, talk, learn and exchange views with others in the organic movement. Any interested national/ international people having expertise in Organic farming can volunteer with us. VIN will be really indebted to those. You will be helping women learn how to do all of this!
VIN's third programme for supporting women in the same community to be empowered is: by conducting health and environment awareness raising programme. For this VIN has set up 15 nurseries to the same community to help the women to develop good forage. It is because the main income source for women is livestock. They have to carry the fodder from very far and have to spend so much time for this.
Our Forage development programme in the community will help the women to save some time since the grass will be available in the land nearby to them and they can use the unused land to nearby area. It will also help to promote the community environment with trees.
So VIN invites all interested national and international volunteers to be part of our women development programmes. Come with expertise and help women learn or come with no expertise and learn together. Your small effort can make a big difference of the women in the most marginalized communities!!! We however request our volunteer to be flexible! It takes time for you to learn about them before you start your actual work and you need patience for that. Working in the community is not like a computer program which is preset; you click and it works. You will be working with women of totally different culture and life styles. Your steps will work slowly but SURELY!
Volunteer with VIN in women development programme, teach women to be literate, skilled and empowered. Let's help women to come out of their homes and experience the outer world!
Roles of Volunteers: teach English, awareness raising activities, women's rights, health issues, life skills, income generative skills, help explore possible market for them, write small grants to fund their activities, work with women in the fields etc.
