Sharmila Sunuwar leaves Marybert School and orphanage

by: Summit Rana

Sharmila Sunuwar lived and studied in Marybert School and orphanage from 2004. In 2011 she left Marybert and started to live with her aunt. MSH was still funding her education and basic necessities. She lived with her aunt for a year and after which her father came and took her with him, he also took her out of the school where she had been studying with MSH funding. Her father didn't want her to study in that school and got her admitted her to a local school. Sharmila wanted to study in the same school as before as all her friends were there and also she was also comfortable with the teachers and the environment there, but her father was reluctant about it. Soon her grades started to degrade and she cried all day.

After days of visit to her house and hours and hours of coaxing and negotiating with her father, he finally agreed to let her study in the school she wanted. Sharmila’s happiness knew no bounds when her father agreed and she started jumping with excitement. Her grades have improved since and she seems very happy with her friends. Her father is also happy to watch her daughter always happy and smiling. We know one day she will make him proud.
