The Experience

Namaste! I'm Prashna. I work as a social worker here in Pokhara. As a child I did not have many opportunities and been raised in an orphanage made the difference in my life.

For this reason, I started this organization

This experience was amazing. Prashna and his family welcomed me in and always made me feel so comfortable. They allowed me to experience celebrating their festival with them and it is such a great memory. I highly recommend this experience and can't thank everyone enough!
