We were born in country side of Nepal. When we were able to walk, since then our parents taught us household works.
We started work at homes as our duties. We used to prepare meals everyday for whole family. We used to go out for shopping to buy food. When we finished cooking food, we had to take food to our parents’ work places. During that time we also had to fetch drinking water from tap. After meal, we had to clean kitchen and wash utensils.
After house hold work finished, we had to go work place either to help parents or do work every day. We did not take any lunch in day. We used to take dinner directly in night and had to work if there was moon light. We used to go bed around 12am -1 am in mid night. Days were passing as usual. Besides this, we had to go and collect dry grass and fire wood as well. Our lives were all about working as much as possible.
We did not have any chances to go school. Our parents just couldn’t afford to pay tuition fees and stationery even they work very, very hard. The money we earned hardly able to manage two meals in a day.
We were always in debt to food suppliers. We did not have any nice clothes to put on. Our parents were always in tension. So we used to help and work hard. If we did not work hard, parents would had much more problems and suffer from sickness. We have a big family. We could not able to celebrate any festivals. We did not go out to visit. Parents used to think that would be unfair to send one to school out of 4-5 children. That’s why we all children worked instead of study.
If there were any younger baby, we needed to look after and feed it to let our parents work. Our lives were very very difficult. If there was any Banda, no work or couldn’t work hard, we had to go bed without dinner.
We needed but did not have any education, play time, entertainment. Lives were just working and working. Since we rescued by Help to Educate and placed us in Little Gems Girls Hostel, life has became completely different. Lives became so easy and happy. We don’t have any difficulties. Now we have good opportunities to study. Besides study, we have been learning many new things day by day. We have been learning good things, learning about good behaviors. We take fresh and hygienic food i.e. Breakfast, lunch and Dinner. We learnt how to walk on busy roads. We learnt how to behave with older and smaller. We learnt about love and obey to younger and older.
We have many facilities in our hostel. We do have many good clothes to put on. We got a big benefits being in hostel. We learnt many good things and still learning more from hostel. We got time to study in a school and in hostel morning and evening. We got a time to go out and visit or play in our leisure. We got sponsors and well wishers from different countries.
