Artist, Ganga, From Khushi Ghar

Every month we get updates directly from the students!

Namaste!

This month was very enjoyable. We had our main festival. I had lots of fun as all our brothers and sisters had gathered together. I love to gather and play around with my brothers and sisters. So it was one of the best times for me. I received a tika from Bruce’s uncle and aunt. I played cards and talked with them.

I even did some paintings during the holidays. I am now with my relatives and enjoying myself a lot. I am going to get my citizenship. I am happy here as I am meeting some of my relatives after so long. thank you for all the things and making life beautiful. Thank you.

To help support Ganga, and all the students in HCC’s programs, DONATE today!

Finally the day arrived and we had to arrive at the venue by 3. We rushed to the models and did the final fittings. By that time, Dinesh Uncle, Hira Aunt and Bruce Uncle had arrived. As my sequence was on the 4th we had a huge rush backstage that let me meet them only for a brief minute and we couldn’t even click a picture together. Show started at 7. After the third sequence we had the models change into our designs. Finally, our design was on the runway, and we walked at the end of the sequence with our showstopper, Simpal Kharel. While walking on the runway, there were a huge number of audiences, included; designers, press media, journalists, photographers, ambassadors, etc. After our sequence, we went backstage and we really had a roller coaster of emotions. All those sleepless nights, stresses, no meal days and all the difficulties we went through were finally over. It was worth everything. This concludes my three years of learning and we had the chance to showcase it to the crowd and people. After our sequence we finally had the time to breather. All along these past three months it felt as if somebody had put on something in our neck as we were suffocating but now it felt as if it had been let go. We could breathe in peace.

After the runway we had a huge feast and that tasted like the best meal that I had for the entire life.
