Personal History: Chet’s father died when she was young, and her mother could not care for her. She was sent to Balmandir Orphanage at a very young age, along with her older sister Nari. Starting in April 2000, for three years, Chet and Nari attended a day school while living at Balmandir, financed by HCC. Then in April 2003, HCC brought them to their current boarding school. They have two brothers; Padam is in the village and Man lives in Malaysia (he came to meet her once). This past Dashian holiday, HCC funded Nari and Chet to visit their mother and brother in their home village for the first time in ten years.

What makes me special?: Chet is a beautiful teenager who loves to read and dance. She recently won a dance contest at school. She also enjoys basketball and swimming. When asked recently, Chet shared that her life ambition was to become a fashion designer, and her “plan B” is to become an accountant. Chet is in the 10th grade and is near the top of her class.
