Educating My Little Nephew
What and how you do things for and with toddlers matters hugely. The simply reason, of course, is that they pick up on a lot of that and essentially shapes them.

Excruciating Dilemma of Young Adult Nepali Couple
The story of two young Nepali adults in love but struggling with a dilemma that many like them do: they are from different castes and their parents don't approve of their desire to get married and start a family. But the comments under their story on Facebook, where I found it, fills me with hope!
Drawbridge Game Adapted for Nepalis

Nepali Man’s Argument: If You “Sexually Provoke” a Man, You Are Responsible If Raped
The combination of a highly patriarchal society and an abysmally poor quality of education in Nepal means that boys and men view girls and women as inferior and treat them as such.

Curiosity might kill the cat but Nepali culture and school culture kill curiosity in children as well as their innate sense of wonder they are born with. Education, quality education can change that.
Miss Nepal: “Be Beautiful…Be The Change”
