Who is Abiral?
“Hi, sir. You can come to our home today ! Come! Come!”
While we were staying in his school, a boy always tried to guide us to his house. On the road to home, he asked us series of questions that never ends, showing his smile all the time. Of course, he is always active in his school life, too. In the classroom, he shows curiosity, taking a role of making the class brighter. “We play football in the lunch break. Come!” He plays football every day with his friends, not with an actual ball, but with a plastic bottle.
His name is Abiral Thatal, a bright and determined 10-year-old boy, resides in Nishanlhe, Thulachhap of Siddhicharan Municipality Ward No. 2, Okhaldhunga, Nepal. He’s currently in the 5th grade at Raktamala Basic School in Jordhara. “I want to join the Nepali Army in the future. I want to protect our country!” He is a dedicated student with a real passion for learning, but his family faces significant financial challenges. These challenges put his education at risk.
