About

Kumari writes: "My name is Kumari Magar. I live in Bhaktapur, Nepal at the New Youth Children Development Society. I have lived here since I was 8 years old and I am now 18. I don't remember much before coming to NYCDS but I have two younger brothers who also live here. There are children at NYCDS and they have been my family for the past 10 years. "Most of the children are much younger than me and I have many jobs and help look after them when I am not studying. Experience helping to look after so many children means when I grow up I want to be a social worker and continue to help poor people in my whole life if I can. "I feel very lucky to have such a wonderful family here and would be extremely grateful for the opportunity that scholarship would give me in helping me to achieve my goals and to make a bright future of mind."

Dear Kumari, how are you? I stayed in the house in Bhaktapur with you and all the other kids for 2 weeks in 2010. That's a while ago, I hope you remember me. I sure remember you! You were so kind and you also gave me a bracelet that I still have and like a lot. We had a lot of fun.
I thought about the NCYDS a lot when the horrible news came about the earthquake. I really hope everybody is okay. Also I am happy to see that you are going to school, I hope all your dreams will come true! Greets to everyone! :) Best wishes for you all.
Namaste Molly, you are also so beautiful. You know I live with lots of my Nepali brothers and sisters and my dog. I love drawing and playing. My favourite subjects in school are Nepali and Social. Nowadays I have 3 months holidays and so I am learning a computer class.

Dear Cathy, Amy and Nknlk thank you so much for your messages of support.
