Hope=Pillar for change

Hope; a feelings that ones expectation will be fulfilled in the near future. A student have hope to be a successful person in future, a business person hope for more profit,a researcher hope to give new theory ,a leader hope for the development of the county and so on. Everyone in the world are living in the ship of hope,but does really everything goes well as we hope?

The social status is not ascribed but in our society women are given social status by birth to be inferior to men. Women are treated as the object in their own homes, of beating rape,incest and traditional practices such as honor killings,dowry related violence,genital mutilations,son preference and early marriages furthermore,women are also target of violence in society(e.g.,rape,sexual abuse,trafficking,forced prostitution,pornography). Even today women have to sleep in stables, separate from others when they are undergoing their monthly menstruation because they are considered as “impure”to contaminate others.Still the girls in rural Nepal are married off before puberty. Female are not allowed to walk alone and talk with male friends.Girls are deprived from education because they have to get marry and go to their husbands home.This could be because of customs and traditions we are following years long,which forced the women to tolerate the violence as tradition and part of their life and further more due to so many year of violence women has become habituate to it and thus cannot raise their voice against the torture they face in everyday life.
Questions: is this possible”? Will our dreams come true?

A special thanks to Healthy Nepal Foundation Medical Team for organizing program. As talking about villagers, as they do came from very poor working families they suffer from a variety of preventable health issues which the family cannot afford to pay to have treated in local hospitals. Several times a year Healthy Nepal Foundation medical volunteers in Nepal visit and give health check-ups to all the school children and villagers.
According to healthy Nepal Doctor Kalpana Ghimire many females were unknown about disease and also they are hiding their disease due to different factors like social, economic. Many students gain knowledge about oral heath hygiene. Ms. Yashoda Kandel student of biotechnology told they have established “One class -One community” aim to established one library to different district of Nepal it’s a great initiative work of biotechnology students. Mr. Sunil Pandey student of medical microbiology added The World Bank’s Rural Development Family is taking a broad perspective on rural development and integrating the various facets of rural life into its policies and projects but in Nepal still it is not in process Mr. Pandey added rural areas require basic education strategies that are different from the national model, which is often based on assumptions more attuned to urban schools. Basic education is one of these facets and must be included in an integrated perspective.
Dr. Kalyan sapkota added, in order to develop persons individual health first basic health education is needed and need to improve their own quality of life, people living in rural areas need at least a basic education. Rural health development suffers when basic health education are not provided individually.
