Teaching English at Monastery in Nepal

Lard Buddha is called star in South Asian countries like Nepal, Japan, and Taiwan so on. The country Nepal has been declared as secular country after establishing Federal Democratic Republic Country. However, there is overwhelming Buddhist followers after Hindu. Because of tremendous Buddhist people in Nepal, many monasteries have been established in different part of Nepal. So, within the Kathmandu Valley and outside places have popular monasteries which are historically important. The monasteries have been teaching Buddhist philosophy to the children though it is felt the lack of some English Language proficiency. Therefore, if some volunteers want to teach English language to the student and giving training to Monk in the Monastery is always welcomed.
