Khushi Ghar Mentorship Sessions

Himalayan Children’s Charities Mentorship Program prepares our students for life after graduation by inspiring self-awareness, gratitude, and by encouraging each student’s individual talents, skills, and passions. With seminars on topics such as trust, communication, and philanthropy, the program helps to guide our students into a life of empowerment, dignity, self-esteem, and self-fulfillment.

Arya shares her experience,

“In December we held our final session of the mentorship program of the year 2023. This special session marked a whole year of learning together and was focused on time management. Prem, Arun and Anukaran led the session and started by discussing the important of good time management in our work and personal lives. Anukaran then brought in a burst of energy with a fun game to engage everyone about the topic. Arun helped him with the activity called the Mayo Jar. We split into groups and the activity showed us how to prioritize important things in life, and the giving the most time to these priorities. After the activity, each group was given a big sheet of paper to write down what they learned from the activity. The main lesson was practical tips for managing our time wisely and not missing out on the important things in our lives. Everyone had something important to add and I think it showed how each person understood the importance of balance. After the session, we celebrated the completion of the one-year program with delicious food and casual conversations. It was a nice time to look back at how we have grown and to talk about our different experiences.”

MISPELLED WORDS

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.
