How did you get involved in the volunteer industry?
I was born in Rural part of the country. When I finished my High school in 2002, I decided to be a volunteer teacher so I went in the most rural part of the country and became teacher for one year. I saw the real situation of rural parts of Nepal. With my small encouragement change took place a lot and people were so thankful. I realized that candle should be lit there where there is darkness so when I finished my masters I decided to work for the marginalized people, organizations of remote parts of country. I took the initiation and we made a team to work. I got much inspiration from the book City of Joy too.
