SMD is too crowded to offer “plus two”. Schools offering Classes 11 and 12 are urban and for-profit. (Mountain kids can’t afford tuition fees, let along the cost of living).

SMD story gets published on The Kathmandu Post

Samantha ZaZa is an artist based in Istanbul and has volunteered as an art teacher in SMD School, and other institutions in Kathmandu in 2010 and 2011.
Sometime during this wet summer, when I was asked what I loved most about Nepal, the answer leaped from my lips without hesitation—the people. It was my second monsoon in Nepal, volunteering as an art teacher at Shree Mangal Dvip School for Himalayan Children (SMD) in Bouddha. I came to SMD by accident; I was meant to volunteer at another school in Bandipur, but due to what I can only call a fortunate miscommunication, I found myself amid a little sea of smiling faces.
