Finding knowledge-based education in Nepal is hard. I have only found marks-based education until now. As a student I have felt the inequity of education in my country. Today, I gear up to try and solve this problem through this fellowship.

I want my students to not just score well and pass, but to learn about life, and learn to change their community and country.

After my decision to join this movement, my first challenge was to make my parents believe in my decision. They were very upset at the beginning but became more supportive after they attended the parents event organized by Teach For Nepal.

It excites me that I am going to touch the lives of many children, as I will be trying to be a change-agent. I dream of becoming a successful scientist conducting research in cancer, and this fellowship will be the first step towards my long term dream. I believe these two years will be a transformative experience for me, just as it was for my predecessors.
