After the SLC, my professional career began. It has been nine years since I started working. I moved from one job to another and various incidents have molded my life. I also worked on a project named 'Study Buddy', which provided tuition to the orphaned kids at Bal Mandir. A search for a meaningful life has brought me here.

In his book, Crisis In Education And Future Challenges For Nepal, Kedar Bhakta Mathema states, “The modern education system in Nepal is one of the oldest in the world.” I feel this statement is very true. In Nepalese schools they focus on parrot learning but not in-depth understanding. On the other hand, Nepal has met the MDG goal that seeks to “achieve Universal Primary Education.” Unfortunately, I don’t think this has made any difference in the lives of the kids in public schools. Does everyone who attends Primary School reach SLC? How many of them pass?

Understanding these realities, I want to be a part of this fellowship so I can make a difference in the education system of Nepal.
