Completed 4 qualitative research interviews today thanks to the support of the Relief Trust and Sujan, who graciously coordinated and translated when needed. Who knew research could be so exciting?!?!?

American MOM

Posted on February 3, 2018 by Patrice

Spent the day with these beauties! They now all call me their American Mom. They are so strong, smart, and loving. The girls explained their degrees to me today, the actual courses they are taking and what it feels like for some of them to only see their families once a year in order to get a degree. They also shared worry about the future in a culture where girls fates are up to the graciousness of their husbands families. Many struggle with English and my Nepali is even worse but we do fine when we actually have time to sit together. I really love and respect these girls.

This girl just finished her Fulbright Program check-in! I think that deserves a coke light (big treat here!) and maybe a cake in a cup I brought from LOUISIANA. Go big or go home! Thank you Fulbright for all the amazing support!
