Girls: Better after quake

A lot has happened during the past years and months. With nationwide restrictions being uplifted slowly, our girls from Khursanitar slowly moved back to their normal schedules. From attending their academic classes to resuming their learning of extra-curricular activities, they continued their various learning sessions from the seed grant they received.

During the season of festivities in Nepal, all of them returned to their village to celebrate and spend their short holidays with their families. “As I had a 5 days holiday from my classes, I decided to return home with other girls as I was missing my family and my village”. After celebrating the festivities, they returned to Kathmandu to resume their daily life and classes.

However, there has been a spike up in cases again and some restrictions have been imposed inside the capital. “It used to stress us a lost before but now me and my girls are used to it. Our families back home are also sensitized on the pandemic situation and follow the necessary precautions as required”, sayd Riya (name changed).

With the ongoing situation, some have decided to go back to the village and help their families while the some of the girls have decided to stay here and continue with their classes until a complete lockdown gets imposed.

After the nation-wide lockdown of around 3 months, daily life all over Nepal slowly started getting back to normal. The restrictions are also gradually being uplifted. Different institutions including colleges have resumed implementing proper safety measures. People have resumed their daily work schedules as well. 


Daily lives of girls in Khairanitar are also slowly getting normalized. Most of them have returned to Kathmandu to resume their academic and extracurricular classes. Roniya (name changed) shared, “We were happy to be back home and spend quality time with friends and family members. But as things are starting to get normal, we have returned to Kathmandu to continue our studies and classes”.

Somina (name changed) shared, “I joined guitar classes just before the lockdown. Due to the imposed restrictions, I had to discontinue it. Since everything’s slowly opening, I have resumed my guitar classes and enjoying it more than ever.” Shristi (name changed) who joined extra classes for Computer has been continuing her classes as well. Aashma who recently completed her high school says, “I always wanted to develop some technical skills. With the seed money I received, I have joined a 3 months Diploma course for Beautician”.

Despite the challenges faced during the second wave lockdown, they are gradually resuming their normal lives and continuing their academic and extracurricular classes. Even though the
girls are busy with their daily schedules now, they make time to catch up and keep in constant touch with one another through social media. They also plan on returning to Khairanitar during the festive holidays.
