It was a really nice experience. Uttam is really friendly and we spend good time together, sometimes some of their friends join us, really nice people. The kids are fantastic. Grade 2 and 3 are so crazy, but really it was so fun; sometimes difficult to control... Lovely kids. Grade 4 and 5 more easy, and so lovely to; i've got arround 10.000… read more

Saping is great!! I spent just under a month here, and the work was very fun and rewarding. Be prepared for a pretty intense rural culture shock, but although it does take some time to adapt, it's so great.

As with all of Nepal, this school exceeded my expectations. The village is gorgeous and its so nice to get away from the city and live amongst friendly farming people. Teaching is work for sure, planning interesting lessons to help the kids learn but also (more importantly?) keep their attention, takes creativity and enthusiasm. Kids are kids… read more

I stayed here for only a week last summer. My short stay was due to myself not fully understanding my own body and what i was capable of. However, even with only a week there i found the people there loving and welcoming. I had so much fun hanging out, playing uno, football, and making the most interesting chair ever.
