If you want to know one thing about our mom, it’s this, she loves holidays and festivals. She goes all out. We grew up celebrating many holidays and traditions from around the world. Maggie mom wanted us to understand our Hindu roots so we celebrate Holi, Dashain, and Tihar and every other festival under the sun. There are a lot of festivals in Nepali culture. It was also important to her to celebrate a few traditions from her own childhood. Have you ever seen Halloween at our house? Mom turns the entire house into a haunted house and we go trick or treating room to room. It’s the spookiest thing you’ve ever seen and oh so much fun. I think the neighbors think we must be a little crazy.

This month we celebrated International Day of the Girl. Not only do we strive to teach our girls at Kopila Valley School that they can do and be anything, but we also try to empower their mothers at our Women’s Center to teach them this as well. We asked our Women’s Center trainees what they’ve learned in their training that they want to share with their daughters and here are their responses:

To every girl ready to learn but who doesn’t have access to a school, to every girl who wants to sleep in her home when she has her period, to every girl playing a sport without a female team, to every girl who wants to stay in school instead of getting married, to every girl who deserves equal pay for equal work, to every girl who is fighting for a fair shot: we see you and we support you. Happy International Day of the Girl!
