Hello, I am Kavita Tamang. I am a HELP Saathi teacher and currently teaching in Saraswati Basic School, Sindhupalchwok. Originally from Nuwakot, I was born and raised in Manikaran, India. I got a National Award from APG Abdul Kalam for doing remarkable work in scouts. I came to Nepal after completing my bachelor’s degree. I then started teaching and did it for almost 7 years. In the meantime, I completed my master’s degree too. I was realizing that teaching children in private school was not what I wanted to do, as most of them are already privileged ones. I desperately wanted to go to a rural area of Nepal where my contribution would be more significant. HELP Saathi teacher program gave me an opportunity to work with kids from a marginalized community who are in desperate need of a teacher. I love teaching with new techniques, making teaching material on my own to make learning fun, which I am doing in the HELP Saathi program. Apart from focusing on academics, I would like my students to be a moral being when they grow up. I feel that morality is the most important characteristic of a human being. A morally right person might take more time to succeed but they are set up for life.
