I had an amazing month staying with the organisation, getting to spend time with children and helping with some other tasks. Truly had a lot of fun in a very cozy and friendly environment. Thank you to Tenzing for providing that opportunity and for doing such an important job !

I stayed at the project in Kathmandu for two weeks. Tenzing was a wonderful host, and I felt at home from the very beginning. The children were incredibly sweet, and I helped them with homework, mainly in English and math, as well as spending time playing games and doing other activities. Helping them with their homework never felt like a chore; it felt more like spending meaningful time together. I also had the chance to take classes in Buddhist philosophy and meditation, which was very valuable to me and my experience. Overall, a wonderful volunteering experience!

I had such an amazing 4 weeks here. Tenzing is a fantastic host - really went above and beyond to answer all my many questions, introduce me to local life, and set me up to take Buddhism courses. I took 4 courses (2 at the monastery with the kindest monks and 2 taught by Tenzing): yoga, meditation, mantras, philosophy. It felt like living with a family here, and I loved spending time with the six children. I taught English to the kids after school and also spent a lot of time playing and talking with them. I feel lucky to have gotten a very local and special experience.

I volenteered at the project for 9 weeks and it was an incredible experience. Tenzing is super nice and open for any questions. He really goes out of his way to make your stay a pleasant one. With the jewellery business he provides an opportunity for women to earn money to pay for school fees. The six children steal your heart in a matter of seconds. I looked after the them after school. We played games, danced and practised English. I took four buddhist courses in philosophy, mantras, yoga and meditation at the monastery and at home. I really hope to come back in the future!

Overall my experience was life changing. Unfortunately during my stay the monastery didn't require volunteers to teach English, but my experience turned out better than expected. I had the lucky opportunity of volunteering at the project! Connecting with children's and supporting development of their English was rewarding. Also Tenzing was a fantastic host, very hospitable and did everything to integrate myself into the beautiful culture! I felt very comfortable! I also received a few Buddhist lessons which were amazing! Thank you Tenzing and I hope to see you soon!

I stayed with Tenzing and 6 sweet children at the project for two weeks. The children stole my heart and Tenzing was extremely kind, teaching me Buddhist philosophy and meditation every morning. I initially went to teach others, but ended up being the one who learned. I felt extremely welcomed and cared for in a safe and homely environment. We did many activities such as celebrating the Tibetan new year with the children and visiting the monastery, which was its own immersive experience. Thank you for everything

I had the opportunity to volunteer in various places, and this experience stands out as a deeply immersive cultural experience. Living in a Buddhist monastery on a peaceful hillside just a few kilometers from the heart of Kathmandu.You will teach English to young monks while going on a spiritual and religious journey with teachings of the older monks. You will also meet your host, Tenzing — a kind-hearted former monk — who lives and takes care of six wonderful children. This memorable experience offers the chance to spend meaningful time with them and connect with local Nepali people.

I had the most beautiful month at Karma Leksheyling Monastery teaching the kids english and learning much more than I expected about buddhism. Tenzing and Khenpo Mingmar took well care of me and I befriended the kind monks too. An excellent opportunity to meet locals, dive into the beauty of buddhism and have fun with sweet monks and nuns. It truly is an exchange and I would do it again in a heartbeat 💓

I spent four weeks at the project, and it was a truly eye-opening experience. Tenzing is a kind person who embodies loving-kindness through his tireless efforts to support others. The Buddhist teachings I received from him and two senior monks will stay with me forever. You likely won't be volunteering at the monastery, but rather connecting with the six children Tenzing cares for and helping with the women's jewellery business. The children benefit from a strong, stable presence. They genuinely need people like you—feel free to reach out if you'd like to know more!
