national non-profit in Nepal started taking care of the education of all refugee children. Textbooks and stationery were provided to the children. Blackboards and chalks came. Teachers started receiving small stipends. How happy I was to receive a 500 Rupee (close to $10.00 per month then) bill for the first time! I gave my first my pay to my parents. Students grabbed anything they could find to sit on. Most of them sat on bare grounds. Earth was their bed, their dining table and their class table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1571683654253-HUHEIHCFGXZRPP2POZ26/image-asset.jpeg A Teacher by Circumstance I threw myself to the education of children in the camp. We, the self- proclaimed teachers, some were trained in Bhutan though, decided to keep English as the medium of instruction. This would keep the children at par with those in Bhutan. It was very satisfying and encouraging to get up every morning with a purpose: give something what you had, to those who needed. There were classes from KG to eighth, all under trees, scattered in the jungle. Each class moved constantly as the shadow of the trees moved. Summer sun was intense. If dark clouds gathered up in the sky and the rain was imminent, we dispersed the classes. We had swarms of students marching from the woods to the huts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1572377635638-L6YF9BN3QLQTU3E3TFH9/NGS+Being+a+teacher+in+the+refugee+camp+6.jpg A Teacher by Circumstance Every school day began with a morning assembly where we had morning prayer and sang Bhutan’s national anthem. A headmaster ran the school administration. Teachers were given 5-6 classes a day. Each class had a minimum of 45 students. I got to teach the first, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grades, all different subjects: English, Science and Social Studies initially. Later, I was asked to teach high school students where I taught English, Earth Science and a vocational subject, Education. I became a teacher by circumstance, not by choice or interest. But I enjoyed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1572377511348-XND8NFS00QW53QCMGAL8/NGS+Being+a+teacher+in+the+refugee+camp+5.jpg A Teacher by Circumstance Later, bigger huts were constructed designed for school. We now had shelter with thatch roof and wall of bamboo shafts. This kept us cool in the summer, but the wall did not keep the winter wind out. Children didn’t have enough clothes on them. So, whenever there was sunshine, we took them out. I can still remember students taking their exams out in the open ground in winter. We learnt to take the best what the nature had to offer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1572377145563-C66X1HXSHIRN4FNH8XOC/NGS+Being+a+teacher+in+the+refugee+camp+3.jpg A Teacher by Circumstance Three months later, all those families who had not got their permanent huts were shifted to another location, about 30 miles away. This was forming a new camp. My family was one among them. My brother joined me in starting a new school at this new location. More educated adults joined to volunteer, and now here was another school running smoothly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1572378044290-IFWQ17DP9VT7KRKZEBDV/NGS+Being+a+teacher+in+the+refugee+camp+7.jpg A Teacher by Circumstance Students were evaluated three times a year. As examinations came, students studied under kerosene lamps and teachers worked on those test papers late hours in the night, 7 days a week. Evaluating 225- 250 test papers was not an easy task for teachers. Students too worked hard because we all had one goal: to be as competent as those in Bhutan when we got back in our country. We all hoped we would be repatriated one day, if not soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1571682761246-AENSAEVY81P1U00QXHK0/NGS+Being+a+teacher+in+the+refugee+camp+1.jpg A Teacher by Circumstance I reached a Bhutanese refugee camp in eastern Nepal in the summer of 1992. It was a sea of people that clustered in small makeshift bamboo huts. Some educated adults had started schools for children in small clearings in the forest nearby. I joined the group of adults. This was the beginning of a job that would go on for 16 years. And that was after successfully completing a two- year diploma in agriculture in Bhutan. I had dreamt and prepared myself to be an agriculturist but now my life had to change its mode from dream to survival. https://www.thepathuntold.org/a-teacher-by-circumstance-1 daily 0.75 2019-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1572379542274-95J6KUD3CVMHQA6V3P4Z/Somalia+Final+Pictures+7.jpg Hassan's Story But then I came to realize that it would take so many school years to become a doctor. I was like “Whoa, I can’t do it.” Now, I work on refugee settlement services in a family support center. I love my work.

My family did not have money. So, I did not go to school in the camp.

He wanted to test the enchantress’s words and kept them to see if her words were true. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573677504434-44SXQPQ0HNJY44ZG2TKY/5%2B6.jpg Bad Things Come Back to Us That day, the rich man did not allow his son to go to school. He locked up his son in his room so that he would not be able to get out. In the afternoon, while the school kids were playing outside during the recess, the rich man headed to school and kindly handed the bread rolls to the teacher and said, “These are for the students.” The teacher accepted them. https://www.thepathuntold.org/bad-things-come-back-to-us daily 0.75 2019-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573680153357-CXV232JLJPVJSCMD0S35/A+day+of+Mochula+8.jpg A Day in the Camp I went to sleep around 8:00, because I had to do hard jobs the next day. म बेलुका ८.०० बजे सुत्ने गर्थे किनकी भोलीपल्ट शारिरिक श्रम गर्न जानु पर्दथ्यो। https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573679645573-QSAA4HNN8ZGL4XGI7TAE/A+day+of+Mochula+5.jpg A Day in the Camp Next, I made lunch for children.

If we live, let’s live together. If we get food, let’s share and eat together. भुटानी शरणार्थीहरुको कथन थियो यदि मर्नु परे सबै मर्ने,बाँचे सबै बाँच्नो र खानेकुरा पाउँदा एकअर्कामा बाडेर खाने। https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573698033246-P3AWIRFRYCENSK9CIM4M/Monchula+Lived+in+and+Left+Bhutan+3.jpg I Lived in and Left Bhutan I worked as a farmer for years and grew many crops. म किसानको रुपमा काम गर्थे र धेरै अन्नबाली लगाउथे। https://www.thepathuntold.org/i-lived-in-and-left-bhutan daily 0.75 2019-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573881524040-YY9G78T6EEKMHMKSMRQ5/I+was+born+in+a+small+village+in+the+south+of+Bhutan+10.jpg My Journey But there, in the camp, everything is just, just living only. तर क्याम्पमा भने सबैकुरा बाँच्नका लागि मात्र थियो। https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573881698404-YUY6C8RXQTFUMYUICSMQ/8%2B9.jpg My Journey In the bus, I was only thinking about my children’s life and future in the U.S. I was sure that my children’s future would be bright, we would be safe, and we would get all the facilities. I was quite excited. We were happy to arrive in the U.S. Everything is different. The U.S. welfare gave us the food account and the bus ride pass. I no longer worry about there is little food for children. There is an apartment for my family to live. The apartment is all good here, warm here, and safe here. गाडीमा चढेपछि मैले मेरा नानीहरुको अमेरिकामा सुनौलो भविष्य संबन्धी मात्र सोचे र मलाई विस्वास थियो उनिहरुको भविष्य सुनौलो हुनेछ साथै हामी सुरक्षित हुनेछौ र पानी विजुलीको सुविधा मिल्ने छ। म धेरै उत्सुक थिए। अमेरिका आइपुग्दा हामी धेरै खुसी भयौ। सबैथाक भिन्दै रहेछ। अमेरिकी सरकारले हामीलाई खान बस्न र गाडीमा यातायात गर्न गाडीको पास समेत उपलव्ध गरायो। मलाई नानीहरुका लागि थोरै खाना छ भनेर कहिल्यै चिन्ता भएन। हामीलाई सुरक्षित र न्यानो बस्ने बासको व्यवस्था थियो। https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573881418246-3Q5P4FF0WFCSMC29LIAI/Monchula+Lived+in+and+Left+Bhutan+7.jpg My Journey Early in the morning, at 6:00, I showed my pass and entered the IOM bus with my children and other Nepali people. I waved goodbye to the people in the camp. I did not cry, because there was nothing and no hope in the camp. बिहान ६.०० बजे मैले प्रवेशपत्र देखाई मेरा नानीहरु र अरु मानिस सहित आइओएमको बसमा चढे। मैले हात हल्लाउदै क्याम्पका मानिसहरुसंग विदा लिए, म रोइन किनकी क्याम्पमा केहि थिएन, नत केही हुने आशा नै। https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573881143830-FUK9SA84BBWT08ARGJ2A/I+was+born+in+a+small+village+in+the+south+of+Bhutan+3.jpg My Journey I went to school in the camp, up to the 5th grade.

Many of my relatives and friends gathered in my hut. We did not sleep the whole night. I was of course very happy, but sad of leaving my friends in the camp. क्याम्प छोडने अघिल्लो सांझ रमाईलो भएको थियो। मेरा धेरै नातेदार र साथिहरु मेरो झुपडीमा भेला भएका थिए। हामी रातभर सुतेनौ। वास्तवमा म धेरै खुसी थिए तर साथी र क्याम्प छोडनु पर्दा दुःखी पनि थिए। https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573881270606-2QSLUL8BO0GHS9YHR7TA/I+was+born+in+a+small+village+in+the+south+of+Bhutan+5.jpg My Journey When I was 25 years old, I was informed to leave the camp and come to the U.S., the country I dreamed of. म क्याम्पमा २४ बर्ष बसे। पच्चिस बर्षको हुँदा मेरो सपनाको देश अमेरिका आउन भनियो। https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573880907224-R180Z5U6JRALIN7JSHC4/I+was+born+in+a+small+village+in+the+south+of+Bhutan+1.jpg My Journey I was born in a small village in the south of Bhutan. I was the Lhotshampas, Nepalese ethnic minority in Bhutan. मेरो जन्म दक्षिण भुटानको एउटा सानो गाउँमा भएको थियो। म दक्षिण भुटानी नेपाली भाषी अल्पसंख्यक वर्गकी एक जवान नारी थिए। https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d924a935e3b33289accc538/1573881061431-EM443JYDN9ACG5FKM26C/I+was+born+in+a+small+village+in+the+south+of+Bhutan+2.jpg My Journey I was brought to the camp in Nepal by my parents at the age of six months. We had a little food to eat and lived in the bamboo hut in the jungle. मलाई मेरो बुबा आमाले छ महिनाको हुँदा नेपालको शरणार्थी क्याम्पमा ल्याउनु भयो। हामीसंग खानेकुराको अभाव हुन्थियो र हामी बांसको झुपडीमा बस्थियौ। https://www.thepathuntold.org/workshops-ii-2 daily 0.75 2020-05-05
