Shree Bachchhalamai Basic School, Panchpokhari Thangpal Rural Municipality-06, Lekharka

Growing up in Tahachal, Kathmandu, Aawash always felt a strong pull toward giving back to his community. As a dedicated member of the Bafal Youth Club, he found his passion in volunteering—whether it was organizing blood donation drives, leading community clean-ups, or helping with health checkups. Through each experience, Aawash not only contributed to his neighborhood but also learned to communicate with people from all walks of life, building connections that would shape his future.

His leadership journey began in school, where he served as the captain and mentored his juniors. However, personal challenges arose due to family difficulties, leading to financial struggles. To support himself, he worked various jobs over the years. His passion for teaching and mentoring was ignited during his school years, particularly by a math teacher whose patience, clarity, and encouragement left a lasting impact on him. He believes in providing patient, clear explanations and engaging lessons to support and motivate students, especially in rural areas. 

Aawash’s interest in rural teaching drives his career goals, as he aims to make a significant impact in regions where quality education is most needed. He views this experience as an opportunity to enhance his problem-solving skills while understanding the diverse needs of his students. Although he has faced challenges such as a lack of resources in teaching, he adapted by creating self-made materials that utilized local examples and encouraged interactive learning to keep students engaged. Looking to the future, he aspires to create a classroom environment that inspires confidence and curiosity while developing innovative teaching methods to foster a love for learning among his students.
