     PA Nepal Mission Statement :
     PA Nepal’s mission is to rid prisons of unnecessary suffering and hardship,
     in particular the suffering experienced by innocent children and prisoners who 
     are poor and disadvantaged. It wants to help transform prisons into places that 
     work to help prisoners build worthwhile and rewarding futures. 

Prison Assistance Mission 
     Volunteers will be placed in an orphanage where they will assist the children 
     in their day to day routine (Volunteers still live with a host family, 
     not in the orphanage).
     There are several orphanages you can be placed in, all within an hour from 
     Kathmandu. The Prisoner Assistance Mission (PAM) is one example who run an
     orphanage, which cares for children whose parents are in prison. 
     The children are mostly between the ages of four and fifteen, and have a basic 
     understanding of English. The general role of the volunteer will be to act as
     an older sibling: to care for, look after and encourage the children. 
     Volunteers will teach the children general life skills, including health and 
     sanitation, as well as arts, crafts and music.
     In some of the orphanages the children do go to school, however you can help
     the children with their school work in others.  
     Placements are limited to nine volunteers per month in this program.

   Maiti's focus has always been on prevention of girl trafficking, a burning issue 
   for Nepal. Rescuing girls forced into prostitution and helping to find economic 
   alternatives have been our key struggle.
