We are so proud and excited to announce to everyone that two of HCC’s Signature Program Students have now joined the ranks of HCC Graduates! Upon their graduation from university, Nari and Rupesh have each graduated from HCC’s Signature Program. Hira Sapkota, HCC’s Director of Student Programs and Hostel Services and HCC resident “House Mom” for HCC kids, spoke of Nari and Rupesh’s new and exciting transition into a new phase of their young life:

A major accomplishment for us this year was the graduation of Nari and Rupesh from University…It has given me the utmost pleasure and satisfaction to see our graduated students do extremely well in their lives and become independent.

Nari and Rupesh have bachelors degrees in Nursing and Hotel Management, respectively. Congratulations to our newest graduates! We cannot wait to watch and cheer Nari and Rupesh as they pursue their dreams.

]]> HCC Nepal Clean Up Dashain UmbrellaAt the end of September, Nepal celebrates Dashain, the most important holiday of the year. Although a religious festival, Dashain also includes a great deal of family fun, great food, and the importance of cleanliness and updating oneself and one’s surroundings afresh. In accordance with this tradition, Signature students decided to conduct a street clean up in the neighborhood surrounding Khushi Ghar, our youth home in Kathmandu. Students were able to have fun together working on a community project, while also giving back to the community on a local level.

HCC Boys Cleaning Up DashainAfter informing the neighbors that students would be out en masse to clean the neighborhood, the students, armed with gloves, brooms, and dustpans, set to work cleaning the neighborhood for the holidays. Weeds were pulled, wrappers and cigarette butts were correctly disposed of, and a neighborhood plan was made to more regularly dispose of refuse in local garbage bins around the community. Neighbors were invited to join the Khushi Ghar community in future local events, cementing students’ relationship with their community on a local level. Regular events designed to give back to the community allow students to develop confidence in their ability to design and execute community projects, cultivate camaraderie with their fellow community members and develop leadership skills. Students had so much fun and can’t wait to continue with more community projects in the future!
