The kids are fun to be around and I feel like I'm contributing to a bigger cause: high quality, free, and non-violent education in Nepal! The school is set in a quaint mountain village surrounded by mountains and hills. I also met other amazing volunteers :)

Shamser is doing a great job managing this and 3 other schools. He's creating opportunities for poor families who might otherwise be unable to send their children to school. Each day, we get to choose which tasks we want to do the next day. We can help with construction, painting, cooking, cleaning, and sometimes even teaching the kids - either covering for a teacher or even teaching something like yoga or chess. We only work 3 hours a day, which leaves plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day. The school is located in a beautiful area surrounded by nature.

Shamsir is a very interesting person and an attentive host. Our experience was well organized. We also appreciated the high level of coordination in the volunteer work system—how we divided tasks among ourselves and supported each other. It was an unforgettable experience!

It was an amazing experience, the host Shamser has organised and is managing a really good setup for children to learn, nurture and grow. During the period of stay, there were multiple opportunities to contribute to kids learnings in multiple ways, teachers present in school are very welcoming and open to new ideas/suggestions, same as the host. New ideas are always welcomed, responsiveness and flexibility from the host is amazing.

What a magical place! A true expansive experience - Shamser had worked so hard to make this school what it is and it shows. The 'work' is not hard and you meet an amazing array of people whilst also helping a great cause in the middle of the Himalayas!

The team was amazing, you work together as volunteers, trust eachother and commit to tasks as a team. You can choose from many activities that need to be done and bring your skills to use. The village is welcoming and you have everything you need. Accomondation is good.

During my stay I got to contribute towards the school's construction project which was building a new classroom. Interacting with the students and local village was an eye opening experience and I felt that I was truly immersed in the Nepalese culture. Shamser was kind enough to host the volunteers at his home for Dashain festival aswell which was a great experience. I was able to go on a shopping trip with Shamser to buy new supplies for the school with money I raised. It was great that I could see first hand the impact the donations from my family and friends had on the school.

I only stayed at the school for a week and didn't get to teach the kids due to exams, but I still enjoyed every single day. There was always something to do and the environment is amazing:)

I have been in a New Marigold Boarding School for 25 days and it was great experience! There are a lot of tasks to do: teaching (math, english, informatics, science), playing with kids (volleyball, football, handcrafting, etc), building, painting, helping in the kitchen. One can try everything and choose what suits the most. The kids are amazing. Every morning they come to school smiling and you see that they are happy to come there. This is the most important. The host, Shamser, is great inspiring person. He always searches the way to improve and he really loves his job. Thank you!
