Education: Bachelor of Arts in Social Work, Reliance College, Nepal

It was only during my bachelor in social work that I was faced with the harsh reality of how some people in Nepal are suffering. Thinking back to my childhood days, I do not remember a single day without food on the table and a warm bed to sleep in. I now know that I was blessed to have loving and supporting parents who were able to provide this for me. My degree opened my eyes in many ways. Not only the classes I took and the internships I did, but also the experience of encountering other Nepalis from different backgrounds. I met students who were living alone in the valley while their families were still back in the villages. One classmate dropped out in second year because she could no longer afford the classes. I learned that life has not really been fair to everyone. My reason for joining TFN is the children. My mother always told me her life would have been much easier if she had been educated. If I can in anyway bring a positive change in a child’s life by helping them to become educated then I will. I want to bring out the best in them, and show them that anything is possible in life.
