My small world

Maybe I went near that gate for more than 20 times and always wished to go beyond it. Thousands of people entered and disappeared. I always used to sneak out and always have the imagination of different scenes beyond that Gate. I grew up in a small village called Changu Narayan in a middle-class family. People in my village are happy with their small dreams and almost identical daily chores all the time. Being a female, I felt suffocated while growing up in society because of so many prejudices and gender discrimination. I felt nothing is new and was desperately waiting to escape and explore in all my youth. A sense of claustrophobic essence hunts my mind.

The feelings of loneliness were crawling back to me as I was more inquisitive to explore a new place...

                                         Tree Planting Project in Changunarayan village Students were in blue uniforms with the backdrop of the lovely green sloping hill, which added natural color in the environment as we planted. We have been concerned about our precious forests since the earthquakes and embargo from India. Although nobody knows what transpired behind closed doors, India somehow ended up with a huge chunk of our forests. It’s good to be dynamic. We are well known about the meaning of perishable. Everything is perishable. But it doesn’t mean we consume today and forget tomorrow. The deforestation is visible everywhere. We at Kay Garnay for Nepal have been doing our best to help the people in need. We’ve organized different programs like Village cleanup and Environmental awareness program in village schools.

So many things are left to do.  This organisation is building shelters in Bhaktapur and Sankhu. We are trying hard to uplift our organisation  I mean  for the welfare of people.. Last few days ago, I went to Boudha to distribute the clothes brought by Lovely New Zealanders . Actually they are really generous. Barely find such people.
