Learning Service is a really cool organization we’ve had the opportunity to work with and talk to here in Nepal. The main idea behind learning service is that individuals need to learn before they can serve. In the same way you can’t help a sick person until you know what will heal them, or build a house until you understand basic tools of construction, individuals shouldn’t volunteer to fix a problem they don’t fully understand. The video below is one created by learning service to help combat major issues currently facing Nepal such as Orphange Voluntourism.
