We are ecstatic to be featured in Aspire Institute’s social impact Saturday. Being the alumni of Aspire Leaders Program and representing Nepal in an international platform has been an exceptional journey. Aspire Leaders Program is dedicated to transforming the lives of young adults worldwide through a fully funded leadership development program that catalyzes leaders to make a positive impact in their communities.
The Aspire alumni network is a dynamic and diverse group spanning countries around the world, and representing Lokopakar in the network has been a milestone for us. With Aspire, we were able to minutely look at the problems faced by first-generation students in Nepal, and we applied for Aspire's Community Action Award with an idea to aid these students. Though we were not selected for the second round, we were determined to pursue the project and have now conducted First Generation Nepal for over 200 students.
First Generation Nepal, aims to build a support system among first-generation Nepali students. By sharing practical skills, teaching English, and providing students with a network of first-generation peers and mentors, we aim to close the education gap for Nepali children in underserved communities.
We are delighted for this interview opportunity with Aspire Institute. Do follow them and subscribe to the newsletter to read our interview.

Here's a compilations of the "Breaking the English Language Barrier" session facilitated by KUSOM Social Club. The 1:2 or 1:3 ratio of facilitator and students made it easier for the students to gel up with their facilitators and created a bigger impact. They learned rhymes and had an amazing time during the session.

Upon asking one of the students, about her favorite session, she mentioned ready, set, design (the one you see on the video). Everyone enjoys teamwork, communicating and building things, but how often do students get to do so? Especially public school students.
First generation Nepal is designed to provide this opportunity for these students and think beyond. There is no right or wrong answer but always great innovations at the end.

Hearing from our Participants, Anisha Tamang and Mina Tamang about their learnings from Breaking The English Language Barrier Session.🌸
Lokopakar in collaboration with Social Work Club of Thames International College. conducted Breaking The English Language Barrier Session at Shree Nandi Secondary School for the students currently studying in Grade 6,7,8 and 9.✨
After working with public schools, Lokopakar figured out that English Language is one of the major reasons because of which students in public school feel 'I AM NOT ENOUGH." Hence, we look forward to breaking this barrier with service learning among youngsters.
