New Students, Settling In

Two new students to the Khushi Ghar family are finding themselves right at home! Both students joined HCC at the start of the school year and we are so happy they are finding their way.

I’ve got to learn so many new things. This month we did many things. We celebrated Saraswati Puja. I had an event in my school that day. We worshiped goddess Saraswati by offering tika and garlands and taking blessings from her for knowledge and wisdom. I had lots of fun that day in school.

I got involved in PEP (Peace Education Program). We have 10 sessions of Peace Education Program in total. Among them, 4 sessions have already been completed. This session helps us to acknowledge peace which is within us and we don’t need to go anywhere to find it. It is a very useful and knowledgeable program for us.

This month one of our sponsors came to visit us. We all had a very useful conversation with him. He was a very nice and generous person. Bruce’s uncle also came to visit us. We talked about our second terminal examination, college experience and so on with him. He motivates us to study hard and do better next time.

We also had a mentorship program this month. We learn about mental health and its importance and impacts in our daily lives. We all members also share our views and experiences regarding mental health. 

In February, our school also organized the Met Gala Championship for three days. I had a lot of fun that day. I took part in an air hockey game. It was fun to take part in different activities and I enjoyed it a lot.

Talking about my second terminal examination, It was not so good. I scored very low marks in my computer science. I need to put more hard effort in math also. Next time, I’ll work hard and score better marks in my exam.

Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to the sponsor for all the love, support and help. Thank you so much. I’m very grateful for what I have now.

I experienced a lot of new things. Firstly, I got involved in the Peace Education Program every Saturday in Khushi Ghar. I am learning the ways to have peace and good moral ethics from these sessions. We also had a mentorship program this month. We talked about mental health in that session. We came up with many unique ideas to maintain good mental health and all of us shared different experiences which led us to have both good and bad mental health. We also welcomed one of the most helpful and motivational donors in our house and had a lot of fun conversation with him. He gave us so many ideas to do better in life at studies as well as career. I am really very grateful to meet and talk to him. Bruce uncle also came to visit us this month. I had many consultations with Bruce uncle too.We talked about our examinations, college, experience in Khushi Ghar and so on. He encouraged me to be better in my studies and life.

This month I also had many fun activities in my school. We had our Champions Gala. I participated in different games. I also had results of the second terminal examinations this month. I could have brought much nicer results than this time. And I will do better than this next time. I will study harder and be better than today.

I am always going to be thankful to my donors for  providing me with the best education. Thank you.

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.
