Shalomi's Story

I am Shalomi and I am twenty-one years old now. I came to Light House Foundation’ hostel in Surkhet Chhinchu when I was twelve years old. Before I came to the hostel I went through very rough life, which I do not want to remember anymore. My horrible past has haunted me for a while but the love, acceptance and the environment which was created by Light House Surkhet Chhinchu family has helped me to overcome step by step.

As I was studying in my college in Surkhet, I was also teaching at Hope Academy School established by our foundation. This opportunity has taught me several things in life, especially loving people who have a similar past. Today, I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree at Kalanidhi Indira Sangeet Maha Vidyalaya in Lalitpur, with a major in Dance. I could never imagine that I would be able to study at university and do what I do today. I am studying, I have started my own internet business and am helping in teaching dance to orphan children at the hostel.

I am forever thankful to my supporter and Light House Foundation family and its leadership for empowering me to climb the ladder to a successful life. Thank you for faithfully holding my ladder. I am committed to do the same for Light House and its vision.

Thank you LHFN for supporting me and carrying me on your shoulders for the last fifteen years. Your unconditional love and faithfulness has impacted my life so deeply to become the person I am today.
