Recently, Manoj, a student and young boy I met in Nepal in 2007, wrote to me about a personal accomplishment that he was so very proud of:
Dear All
Namaste
I am rewarded by "National Disabled intelligence reward 2011" on December 3, 2011 which is disabled day .This reward gave by Nepal government Minister because this year S.L.C.(School Leaving Certificate) exam I had get highest mark among all the physical disabled Student. This time I am heartily thanks for my Sponsor Pam and Nanna pat who have great contribution for my study…………….and I heartily thanks for Amrit Sir who encourage to apply reward and always guide me to do best in my life as well as Rose who Coordinate and arrange sponsor for my education to go Baba Boarding school. Please find out the attach photos where you see the reward programe.
This time I am really busy for my study I have class 10.45 to 5 and around 1 and ½ hour I need for way so I have only one Saturday free, that day I need wash my clothes, bathing and cleaning the room.
I had get the first term exam result which is good, still I need to work lots.
As you can see from the pictures above, Manoj is not a young boy anymore. He has become a brilliant and hugely motivated young man who is headed for great things through education. I have such loving memories of him and his constant singing when home from school. I am so impressed and proud of him, in more ways than one.
As a reminder, by donating to the Jolkona education campaign, you can make a difference by helping other Nepali children who live with Manoj and need help to continue their learning. Donate today!
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement, nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
