Personal History: Arya was found discarded in the road by police in Kathmandu when she was about 4 years old, and was brought to Balmandir Orphanage. She could not communicate anything of substance about her family, so there is nothing further about her in the records. Since she has no known relatives, she will spend the Dashain holiday back at the orphanage.

What makes me special?: “Arya”, which means “noble" or "honorable” in Nepali, is a happy girl who loves to dance and play with other children, and especially loves to sing. Her favorite sports are “hide and seek” and running. Her favorite subject in school is Nepali, and she wants to be a teacher or a doctor when she grows up. Arya’s favorite color is red, and her favorite foods are rice and meat. What she loves to do the most is watch cartoons.
