Personal History: According to the records at the orphanage, Nari’s father died when she was very young. Her mother was then destitute, and abandoned Nari and her sister Chet so that she could remarry. Starting in April 2000, Chet and Nari attended a day school while living at Balmandir, financed by HCC. 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?: Nari is in the 10th grade and is a bright, hardworking student. Last year, she ranked second in her 8th grade class of 20 students. She is a sweet, creative and thoughtful girl who loves to dance, play guitar and read books. Her favorite sports are basketball and swimming. Nari’s life ambition is to become a doctor, nurse or an artist. Nari has a hunger for learning and wants to make Nepal and the world a better place.
