I worked as a lower secondary science teacher and coordinator at a local school in my hometown. That was a great experience for me to learn how to teach, how to engage students, and how to internalize the norms and values of an organization.

When I realized that my teaching could reach hundreds of underprivileged students as well as change a community, and assist in ending educational inequity in my country, I left my job to join this fellowship.

This belief also came through my subconscious attachment towards educational Nepali Television series like Devi, Chetana and so on. Those series focused on how the roles of teachers were so vital in changing the society. They were shown as change agents in the series and I subconsciously aspired to be like them. I think that desire of mine is being realized through this fellowship.

I am now part of a group that is working towards ending education inequity in Nepal. With a larger team, I believe one day all children will attain an excellent education.
