May Visit to Our Rural Students

Several times a year the HCC Nepal team heads into the mountains to check up on our Rise Students. These visits check on grades, health, family and they are great opportunities to recruit motivated students for the Peak program. 

This visit marked my second field trip to Dhading and Nuwakot, and it was particularly special. Being familiar with many of the students from my previous visit, I was delighted that they remembered me as well. Although the travel was exhausting, the sight of the students’ excited faces instantly revitalized me. Their warm greetings brought a broad smile to my face, making it evident that our presence brought mutual joy.

This trip surpassed the first one in many ways. I captured numerous photos and documented updates about the students. Engaging in conversations with them was immensely enjoyable, and it was heartwarming to see that they appreciated our interactions just as much. Overall, this experience was profoundly rewarding. -Pushpa

This Dhading field trip was the most exciting and amusing trip so far. It was also my first trip. I usually don’t like going on long trips and used to find them boring. But this time was different. Although we had gone for work, I didn’t feel exhausted and enjoyed 

interacting with other children and learning about their backgrounds. This trip also helped me experience more about village life. I was aware about the hcc’s incredible work in Dhading and  Nuwakot but this time i got to experience it myself. Before I didn’t used to interact much with others but on this trip I was able to open-up with everyone in the group. I think it was also because of the people I was close to and comfortable with. When I went out of the valley I got to know that I am lucky enough to live in kathmandu with all the privileges because the people in the village didn’t have the facilities that we have. This trip has helped me learn things like sometimes we have to compromise many things because life is different in every place. We also should learn to adjust according to the environment. I feel very thankful for including me in this trip.  – Pratima

Field Trip Experience by Arun, HCC university student

From December 9th to 11th, I volunteered on a trip to Dhading and Nuwakot with Dinesh Uncle, Laxmi Didi, Nishan Dai, and D.P. Uncle. Our goal was to distribute winter supplies like clothes, books, and calculators to students in these areas. The trip was a rewarding and humbling experience as we connected with the children and saw the impact of HCC’s work.

We left early on December 9th, starting at 6:30 a.m. Our first stop was to meet eight students. We spent time chatting with them about their families, studies, and future goals, and distributed chocolates to them. Then, we went to Dhading Besi and visited another school, where we spent three hours meeting students, handing out supplies, and learning about their lives. A 13-year-old girl, Gita, stood out to me with her maturity and confidence.

Next, we traveled to Darkha, where we enjoyed the beautiful scenery despite the rough roads. We stayed overnight at a local hotel and the next morning met with the community, including the mayor and teachers. We gave supplies to 15 students and had meaningful conversations with locals.

In the afternoon, we visited Bindu Keshar School in Nuwakot, where we played volleyball with eight students and shared snacks. Finally, we reached Uttar Gaya, where we updated records for six students and saw their dedication to learning. We ended the trip by staying at a hotel in Nuwakot before heading back to Kathmandu the next day.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our team, sponsors, and well-wishers for their invaluable support in ensuring the education and well-being of  students in the RISE program. The field visit was a success, providing much-needed support and monitoring to students in the RISE program. Through collective efforts, we continue to create meaningful impacts on the lives of children and their families in Nepal.
