I am from Nepal where there high mountains and beautiful land. Kids will play until the sun sets, people will eat the street food like Pani Puri and Chapati and people celebrate holidays like Holi and Dashain.In November 2009 I left Nepal I was going miss everything in Nepal.

In 2016 I went to Nepal for the first time in seven years. When I went to the mandir I saw people begging for money. When I went to Manakamana I saw that the whole mandir was wrecked due to the tragic earthquake in 2014.

When I am older I want to help Nepali kids go to school, I want to help build homes for people in Nepal who don’t have homes. I want to give food to the kids who don’t get water milk or clothes. When I am older I want to help Nepal.
