Reema's Story
When I was 6 years old and I came with my father. As my childhood was very bad and serious because my father and mother have divorce with each other and the family environment was not good for my growth. As I was luck to be a member of Meg’s Children home or to have shelter, food and education by the help of Meg’s Children home. Firstly in the Bagmati, Trish mom came into the Bagmati and she helped us to have better life. We moved to the Bageshowr with Nanda aunta, Bibechana sis and Bikash brother with the help of Trish mom.
Now I am too much happy to live in children home. I have been living there very with fulfilling my all the needs. My mother had married to the next man and as my father also married to the other. As due to this problem, I got help of Meg’s Children home’s help. Now days, I am very much happy to live here.

Reema’s latest news
Reema continues to work in the Humla region a very remote part of Nepal. This is in the region where the recent earthquake occurred causing over 150 casualties and significant damage to buildings etc. No doubt Reema is very busy helping with aftermath of all this.
Sita's Story
The brother works as an accountant assistant in the cooperative run by the community (all members are from the so-called untouchability community in humla) in the village, his income is not sufficient to run the costs of living of the whole family. It takes four days on foot to reach the village from the district headquarter of Humla as there is no access of transportation. Also from Kathmandu you have to fly to Humla.
Sita’s latest news
Sita recently applied to Meg’s for a scholarship to study to become a Laboratory Technician. We were delighted to approve this and wish her well with her studies. Sita and her family are form a lower caste, she comes from Humla, a remote part of Nepal.
Both her parents have passed away. For her family this is huge as very few members of her family have had the opportunity to study for tertiary education in the past.

Sagar’s Story
While talking about myself, I have always been a trying person; I like doing things which I plan. Till now I have had an open environment club called Green Planet, started my own bag and handicrafts company, started homestay, worked as a radio presenter and many more. I do things so that I can know what I am and what I can become in the future. Till now with all these I think I am a social person and a businessman, I have always loved to have my own business with social involvement. I want to have a professional fashion event management company here in Nepal as this can be a new business. For this, I need to see and study the fashion industry around the world and also have some money to start the business. Therefore, I plan to go abroad and learn and save some money so that I can come back here in Nepal and start my business. I know it’s a big dream but like my other plans if I try I will surely make it happen. In a meanwhile, I am working at a project called VOICE run under Spinal Injury Sung Nepal (Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre) as marketing coordinator plus designer. The project provides vocational training like sewing, embroidery and computer and English for the people with disability so that they can go back to society and earn to survive themselves independently. My work is to give the marketing classes to the trainees and moreover with the new product development for the sustainability to VOICE project overall.
I really wanted to apply for abroad right after finishing my bachelor but when I went to VOICE I really wanted to get involved and work there. I knew it will be just for the short phrase as I had already made my mind to go abroad but the main reason for joining the project is because of the concept which Meg sister had, physically disabling she had a dream to become a teacher and help others. And she has done it as because of her now many of us here in Nepal are able to get a good education and dream to have our bright future. Another reason was I wanted to know the difficulties and feelings of her being a spinal injury patient. Here in VOICE working and being with the people with disability especially spinal patients like Meg. I see their challenges and difficulties that they face but still, they are more strong and positive to live it has really boosted me up to be positive in life. I have really learned the life in a different way. Mum always used to say that Meg was very positive and cheerful. I always think there is a huge contribution of Meg sister in my life so, with the feeling of thanking her, I joined VOICE so that I can help as much as I can to the people with a spinal injury just like she helped me to be who I am today. Thank you, Meg, Trish Mum and each one of you who has been always a great supporter towards Meg’s Children Trust.
