Dipsikha Tamang, hailing from Ramechhap, is a determined and resilient individual who served as an Animator at SAHAS. With two years of experience in her role, Dipsikha was responsible for running a learning camp for students and leading the Samvad group for the Kishwori group to improve numeracy and literacy. Dipsikha ’s journey to this role has been shaped by her personal background and the challenges she has overcome. Growing up as the middle child in her family, she was tasked with balancing household responsibilities while pursuing her education. Despite limited resources and the added pressure of managing her studies late at night, Dipsikha ’s determination never wavered, and she successfully completed her SEE ((Secondary Education Examination).
Dipsikha ’s decision to become a teacher was sparked by an unforgettable mentor, an English teacher who treated all students equally, taught effectively, and provided homework help. This teacher’s non-discriminatory approach left a lasting impression on Dipsikha , who aspires to carry forward the same values of respect and equality in her own teaching career. She is determined to become a teacher who not only educates but also loves and respects her students, guiding them toward the right path to success. Her reflection on past teachers in her village, many of whom were unqualified and disengaged, further fuels her resolve to be different. Dipsikha is committed to learning better teaching methods and skills through the Saathi program, which she aims to apply in her future teaching endeavors.
In her role as an Animator, Dipsikha faced significant challenges, including a three-hour journey through a forest to reach the learning camp. Despite her fears, such as being chased by monkeys, she continued to make the trip alone, driven by her commitment to ensuring that students receive the education they deserve. This dedication reflects her personal philosophy of loving and respecting children while guiding them toward success. Dipsikha is passionate about helping her students develop qualities like responsibility, integrity, and discipline, and she strives to embody the dedication and passion she has seen in her own role models.
The hardships Dipsikha has faced, from managing household responsibilities to overcoming fear during her travels, have shaped her into a resilient and determined individual. These experiences have not deterred her but instead strengthened her resolve to continue her work and make a meaningful impact on her students’ lives. Dipsikha ’s aspirations extend beyond her current role; she envisions herself as a teacher who reflects the values of equality, respect, and dedication, inspiring her students to achieve their full potential.
