Update from Jaman in Med School

charities for children, childrens charity,

Jaman is the first HCC student to attend Medical School. In addition to trailblazing, he is navigating the very real and complex class/caste bias he’s facing with grace and admirable strength.

Namaste!
I am Jaman lama. Currently, I am at the end my Second year of MBBS (Bachelor in Medicine and Bachelor in Surgery) at National Medical college, Birganj, Nepal. In the month of February, I had a beautiful time of learning the human digestive system, diseases related to human gastrointestinal (GI) system; their causes, lab diagnosis, and treatments. I had a seminar on the human digestive system for internal assessment and it went well.

On 26th feb, the exam on gastrointestinal system also went good. I learned time management is crucial to make best in exams. I am waiting for results.

From 27th feb, I had regular classes on renal( kidney), endocrine and reproductive systems. Also I am 3 months away from the board exam of second year which will be held on July 1st week at Tribhubhan university.

Apart from study, I had one day out with some friends to the Thori Jungle resort of Parsa district to have recreational time after the exam of GI system. It was fun, we cooked food, I felt that we were having picnic. The place was beautiful and the day went great.

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.
