Home: Kathmandu, Kathmandu, Bagmati

Education: Bachelor of Business Studies, Xavier International College

Neither of my parents was able to go to school when they were younger, my dad because it was too far away and my mom due to the belief of villagers that girls should not be sent to school. They were forced to do minimum wage jobs and so when I was a kid my family was not very financially stable. But still, they made sure that I and my two siblings were always able to attend school and they encouraged us to work hard to do well in our studies. Years later while working in the Gulf country, I met several Nepalese who were working there as labourer and housemaids. They were treated poorly, not paid on time, and cheated too. They used to blame our country for them having to work far away from their families. It was all due to the lack of proper education that they ended up in such a positions. At that point, I realised that education is all that matters. I might have ended up like them if I was born somewhere where there were no proper education facilities or if my parents were not supportive. I decided to return to Nepal, go to university, and do something to help my people.
