Congratulations to our Hostel Year-10 students who have successfully completed their Secondary Education Examination (SEE). 

Special congratulations to Gyanmaya Tamang for the highest achievement. She scored 87.5%, which equates to a GPA* of 3.5 and an ‘A’ rating. Gyanmaya came to the FHC Hostel four years ago after she lost her mother and a brother to the earthquake in 2015. In 2020 she topped the Basic Level Exam (BLE) for the district with 96.5% when she went from Grade 8 to Grade 9, winning the school a $2000 grant. She aims to study further to become a nurse. 

Congratulations Akriti Tamang for achieving 83.75% (GPA3.35/A). Akriti came to our hostel in 2016 after her father died and her mother was too unwell to care for her. Her two sisters also live with us at the Hostel. Akriti hopes to become a leader in her community and work for the government. She wants to advance gender equality in Nepal and improve the lives of women, especially for young girls.  

Congratulations also to Som Bahadur Tamang for achieving a result of 78.75% (GPA3.15/B+). Som came to FHC’s hostel in 2016 with his brother and sister. He wants to make a career out of guiding trekkers around Nepal.

Congratulations to Sunil Tamang, who scored 77.5% with his exams (GPA3.1/B+). Sunil came to FHCs Hostel in 2016 with his younger sister, Samjhana. Sunil aspires to go on to university to study medicine and become a doctor.

Congratulations also to:
– Pasang Tamang (GPA2.9/B+)
– Biraj Tamang (GPA2.8/B+)
– Nirmila Tamang (GPA2.5/B)
– Sharmila Tamang (GPA2.5/B)
– Sangam Tamang (GPA2.4/B)
– Mingmar Tamang (GPA2.4/B). 

These are fantastic results, considering they have all suffered much disadvantage in their young lives. We are very proud of their achievements. Doing extra study outside of the school is a big part of the culture at FHC’s Hostel. We encourage the students to do extra study with help from the Hostel mother, Miss Paru. She has succeeded at university and is an inspiration and mentor to the students. 

Now these students have some power over their destinies. You have made this possible.
