I stayed at New Marigold School, where Shamser and all the volunteers are very welcoming and quickly make you feel home! The tasks are assigned the day before, just sign up for whatever you want to do. This means you can choose your schedule and decide what to do with the rest of the day, wether you play with the kids, go to the village or relax. I really enjoyed the kid's positive energy, playing football/volleyball after school with volunteers & locals and the evenings you spend as a group. You support such a great Project while having the best time, I definately recommend this experience!

We absolutely loved our stay at the school Academy! Bimala, Shamser and the fellow volunteers welcomed us with open arms and the house felt like a family. The school was incredible- there were 15 volunteers when I was there so there wasn't too much work to go around but the school is a beautiful atmosphere with breathtaking scenery and what Shamser is doing is changing lives. Living in such an untouched mountain village was such a beautiful experience, I'll miss the milk tea and the dance ceremonies the locals brought us too. I would 1000% recommend. Feel free to ask me any questions!

I spent 4 weeks at New Marigold. I really think it's important to stay for at least 2 weeks if you can because you spend the first week of your experience getting used to the new environment, routine and getting to know the kids. I loved spending 4 weeks at this school. This school is still relatively new and has expanded quickly so is a place that is open to new ideas and energy! I loved playing sport with volunteers and locals at the end of school days and going down to the local village for yummy food like momos and samosas! I highly recommend this experience!

The kids at the school are adorable and very hardworking. I really enjoyed taking care of them! Work is very flexible, and you can form your experience into how you would like it as new ideas are always welcome. Main tasks consist of helping Bimala in the kitchen, assisting and teaching classes, and giving one on one lessons for the kids that needs an extra helping hand. Other than that, you can also help making content for their social media. I really enjoyed the experience and met a lot of amazing people along the way. I would highly recommend.

The New Marigold Project is a mind-blowing experience. I was here for the first time in June 2022, right after Shamser Thapa took over this school. The process he made with the support of all volunteers, workers, donors, and teachers is tremendous. Initially, there was no running water, and school rooms were desolate, but now it's phenomenal and unique.

New Marigold is one of the school that I love! Being part of the team, it was amazing! This is the school where you can da lot of things, like gardening, cooking, teaching, meeting international travelers, meeting locals and learning new things! I like the way how organized is the host coz he have this white board where all task are written down and you can put your name to do that task. Also, the host is friendly and accommodating. He have a lot of good plans to help the locals. He is doing everything to help. Thank you so much Shamser for being an extraordinary host to all of us!

Volunteering in New Marigold School has been one of the best experience of my life so far. Living there, becoming part of the school, meeting the kids, the teachers, the people from the village, the other volunteers... all together filled up my heart with love. I spent more than 3 weeks in total, and I recommend to plan to stay at least 2. The days are easy but never boring. You actually are essential for the good functioning of the school and you are as much involved as you wish to be. My heart is full, my soul is happy and my mind is already planning when to come back ❤️

This experience has far exceed my expectations. I felt myself helpful but the school, kids, workers, owner, environment, volunteers... gave me more than what I gave. I felt home there. I want to highlight the sympathy and love of the kids, a very gratifying sensation. This is an amazing proyect to help to run a school of integration and non-violent and love education. There are still many improvements to do and all the help will be welcome. If you are looking for a place to make a positive contribution in the future of many needed kids this can be an amazing choice. Thanks a lot!

The school Academy & New Marie Gold and the team that makes it possible is truly amazing. It was a transforming time for me. I am very grateful for all the inspiring conversations and experiences with Shamser, the students and the other volunteers! Your actions here will have a sustainable and important impact for the future of the Nepali Kids. Staying here feels like living in a family. There is no better way to experience true Nepali Culture while having a good impact! Thank you so much for everything! See you soon!
