Stolen Innocence and Lost Dreams
Sona and her two younger siblings.
In rural Nepal, the innocence of children and their dreams are often stolen and lost, respectively, because of a lack of will on our leadership to do anything concrete to tackle poverty and lack of education. Often such children become victims of trafficking.

Another post about COMMITED's visit to Thangpalkot village, our project site, in early February. This one is mostly about our attendance at Star Reader recognition functions at the schools in the area, and about the discovery of the sad fate of one Star Reader.
An Interview: Out of the circle
An interview where I discuss why COMMITTED is running the "We're COMMITTED" campaign to raise awareness about the plight, and fundraising to help, the children and younger siblings of dead migrants.
Project Update: “What is this obsession people have with books?”
Libraries played an important role in my education in Nepal. Believing therefore that libraries are an extremely important resource in a school I wholeheartedly support building libraries at school. COMMITTED has helped build libraries at all four schools in Thangpalkot and also at Shanti Nikunj.
