Acupuncture Relief Project: Nepal - Global Community Acupuncture Clinic

Welcome to the Acupuncture Relief Project

Kathmandu, Nepal

Welcome and thank you for your interest in our project. The Acupuncture Relief Project is a free community acupuncture clinic that travels to countries that have been impacted by poverty, conflict or disaster. In 2009 our project will be two 7-week clinic camps located in Campagoan, Nepal.

Nepal remains one of the poorest countries in the world and has been plagued with political unrest and military conflict for the past decade. Our project will give our practitioners an opportunity to gain valuable field experience while making a positive impact on the local community. During our 2008 project we were able to provide over 5000 acupuncture treatments and had remarkable results in treating chronic pain, GI disorders and paralysis.

Two Volunteers Needed

Acupuncture Relief Project is proud to announce its plans to return to Nepal in 2009 and is currently taking applications from qualified acupuncture practitioners for two clinic camps (Sept. 21st to Nov. 6th. and Nov. 2nd to Dec. 18th, 2009). Each camp will last seven weeks and be limited to four practitioners. We are also accepting applications from practitioners who would like to serve in Nepal other times during the year.

We have room for two more practitioners interested in participating on this years clinic project. Openings are for Camp B (Nov. 2nd to Dec. 18th) only. Please contact us immediately.
