Education: Bachelor of Information Management,  Prime College, Nepal

My mother was born the 8th child in her family in a rural village. Her parents passed away when she was an infant so she had to do a lot of housework, work in the field, babysit for neighbours and sell vegetables to earn money. She was fond of reading and writing but her siblings did not support her in pursuing an education and instead married her off at 19 ending her education. I am in Teach For Nepal because my values and aim in life are guided by my mother’s story and bitter memories of my childhood days with teachers and school. Her struggles have made me what I am today and have always made me want to do something for rural children in Nepal. I want to help them so that they can have a better life than my mother had. After university, I was offered good positions by three different companies, but I chose the TFN fellowship over all of them. My decision is gratefully supported by my mother.
