Mero Sathi 2025 The 12-day program that made me meet some amazing people and have best memories of youth to remember till the death. Joining Mero Sathi has been the best decision so far. I learned so many things about people, community, education, personal perception, friendship and how much we are craving for a genuine connection in this digital world. Lack of internet for 3 days in palpa made me realize how much I was involved in phone while ignoring the physical surrounding completely. The strangers with different nationality, culture, language and religion background very soon became friends and hope to continue this bond for life which was strange as I believed it was very different to connect to other in this time. Knowing the educational systems and conditions of my own country was surprising even for me. Some schools far exceeded the educational quality while some were left too far behind. It gave a reality check about the schooling of my own place. It also made me grateful towards my parents and teachers who provided me the best they could. Firstly, thanks to Mr. kshitiz bhattarai from Himavan Nepal for giving me this opportunity. Also thanks to Prof. Akinori Seki for guiding us in the program and giving valuable insights on life and happiness. Lastly, Thanks to all my friends for taking care of me in the best possible way. The memories we made, the talks we had, the mistakes we did will always be remembered. I am already missing you all very much. All those late night music sessions, sleeping in bus on such a bumpy hilly road, those reflection sessions, uncoordinated dances, and fun fights in late night stroll will always be my favorite memories of this trip. 🤝❤️✨
