Video of my presentation at UWC-Second-Saturday-at-Six gathering in Boston last February in which I describe why I do what I do for the education of the marginalized in Nepal and the impact of the April and May 2015 earthquakes on the schools COMMITTED works with in Sindhupalchok.
Why in Nepal we must teach our children to THINK and how we can do that in Science.
Teachers in Nepal can vastly improve Science teaching just by changing the way they teach. And for that, they don't need fancy buildings and the latest resources and gadgets. Just using what's available at the school and what is accessible locally, science can be brought alive and made relevant to the students, thereby improving the learning outcomes of the students.
We are making gains, we are making progress...albeit small and slowly, but some day will amount to something substantial...that's what I am hoping anyway!

Dreams can be powerful; they can take you places some not even imagined possible!
Follow link to watch a video of the presentation where I talked about how I realized my dreams, how I continue to dream and what I hope they do with their lives.
Live life in others' terms, you'll fail...no matter what.
Live life in ones own terms, you'll succeed...no matter what.
In other words, ones success is measured by oneself, so therefore, success is what you make of life.
