Meet Subas Kadel
Subas : one year ahead at school but poor...
A Fishtail student since 2009



Subas is now 13 years old. He lives on the outskirts of Pokhara and goes to Barahi School, Malepatan. He is now in Grade 9.
The family are very poor. His father is the breadwinner who earns very small amount of money by selling newspapers door to door. Subas has two older sisters and an older brother. The family lives in a rented room.

In 2009 he and his school submitted an application for scholarship. He wrote:

"I am a very sincere and I believe talented student. However, the poor economic condition of my family is forcing me to leave the school. Your scholarship can make me continue at the school that supports me to fulfil my desire to be a capable person of the country"

In Spring 2011 Subas continued to do well. He secured 1st position in the class for the second year. He was, says his Head Teacher, very disciplinary and had 93% attendance in the school. The school has requested us to continue the scholarships.

We are thrilled by his success.
