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!

If you are looking for volunteering at a school in Nepal search no more. I have spent three weeks at Shamser's New Marigold school and the place was amazing. Shamser is a really inspiring person and I am glad to meet him in person. The work environment was diverse and motivated, met a lot of amazing people and learned many things from them. Working with children was fantastic and in general, it was just an easy going place to be. So don't be worried or nervous, only good hearted people there.

Volunteering in the school Academy has been great. Kids are extremely nice and respectful. It is very impressive how dedicate to learn they are. The host house is clean and well organised. Bimala (volunteers and meals responsable) is a sweet heart and she really provide a positive environment. The location is amazing, in contact with nature and locals at any time. Teaching in school was super easy since the local teachers leave me so much time and freedom. Definitely one of the best experience of my whole life!
