It is difficult to think about helping your country and your people when you have spent your childhood living in an unstable financial condition. It makes you focussed on yourself and your family. After university my plan was the same as that of all Nepalis, both educated and uneducated: to go to a foreign country so that I can live a good life and improve my family’s financial condition. But my thoughts changed after the 2072 earthquake in which lots of people died and many people including some of my friends went to help those who were suffering. I realised that while I had been trying to get away, other people were working to make things better in Nepal. It was the first time that I had thought beyond my own life. I decided, I want to do something for my own country. I learned of more and more organisations working to uplift conditions and my interest in social work grew. Finally I realised that the satisfaction of working for others is like no other. That is why I applied for Teach For Nepal.
