DCI Higher Education Scholarship Students Choose College Subjects

Sanjog and Sushan in Dhading

HCC has been funding two deserving students through our Dhading Children’s Initiative (DCI) program for Grades 11 and 12 scholarship support in 2017. After taking their SEE (exit exams), the students choose a particular area of study for their further studies, including Science, Management, and some technical courses. Taking the course of their choice, they decide what field they want to develop for their career. We had our first batch of Higher Scholarship support for 2 students from the grade 12 class of 2016, Sanjog and Sushan. Both of our students decided to study Management.

Like last year, this year Sanjog and Sushan performed well academically and are awarded the scholarship for the Higher Scholarship support for studying in Grades 11 and 12. In late July, they received an orientation from HCC about the higher educational scholarship, their roles, responsibilities, and studies.

Sanjog secured 2.70 Grade in his SEE (Secondary Education Examination). He wants to study Arts taking English as his main subject. As his sister lives in Dhading Besi, he wants to stay with her in the district headquarters so that he can study and also get computer training. Sushan secured 2.60 Grade in his SEE (Secondary Education Examination). He wants to study Arts taking English as his main subject. If there is a Management stream in the college he chooses, he will either opt for Arts or Management. Sushan wants to study in the same school wherein took his SEE as it is close to home and he can look after his sister, Tina, who is also in our program.

Finally the day arrived and we had to arrive at the venue by 3. We rushed to the models and did the final fittings. By that time, Dinesh Uncle, Hira Aunt and Bruce Uncle had arrived. As my sequence was on the 4th we had a huge rush backstage that let me meet them only for a brief minute and we couldn’t even click a picture together. Show started at 7. After the third sequence we had the models change into our designs. Finally, our design was on the runway, and we walked at the end of the sequence with our showstopper, Simpal Kharel. While walking on the runway, there were a huge number of audiences, included; designers, press media, journalists, photographers, ambassadors, etc. After our sequence, we went backstage and we really had a roller coaster of emotions. All those sleepless nights, stresses, no meal days and all the difficulties we went through were finally over. It was worth everything. This concludes my three years of learning and we had the chance to showcase it to the crowd and people. After our sequence we finally had the time to breather. All along these past three months it felt as if somebody had put on something in our neck as we were suffocating but now it felt as if it had been let go. We could breathe in peace.

After the runway we had a huge feast and that tasted like the best meal that I had for the entire life.
