Karma Lama, a young and determined individual from Langarche, Sindhupalchwok, holds a teaching license and is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Education. He strongly believes that humanity, empathy, and unity are essential virtues, a perspective shaped by witnessing the devastation of his village during the 2015 earthquake. Observing how the community rebuilt itself through these virtues inspired him to value service and active involvement in community work, particularly during critical situations.

Karma’s motivation to join the Saathi Teachers Programme (STP) stems from this sense of service and responsibility. He learned about the programme through Anmol Tamang, a current Saathi Teacher, he was motivated to apply recognising it as a unique opportunity to contribute while advancing his professional development.

As a Saathi Teacher, Karma aims to make a positive impact in students’ lives, not only by teaching but by understanding and catering to their individual needs. His strengths include effective communication, relationship-building, and advocacy against something that is not right. He is confident in earning students’ trust, and motivating them to achieve their potential. Karma combines determination with a genuine commitment to education and community development. His vision as a teacher goes beyond academics, focusing on creating meaningful connections and contributing positively to the wider community.
