Kumar Thapa

Kumar Thapa is a fourth grader at Shanti Shikshya Mandir (Thahiti).  His teacher and gift applicant Ms. Nima Rajbhandari. Kumar says he is a brilliant student. Kumar comes from a poor economic background. His father works as street vendor who doesn’t have a stable income and hence, his family’s basic needs aren't met. Kumar, though a bright and brilliant student, does not go to school regularly in winter because he does not have a sweater.  His teacher feels that he would come to school on a regular basis and keep up his good work if he had a sweater.
