Hamro Prakriti or Nature: As Our Children See It, is a collection of 12 poems written by girls in our Girls' Education program from various regions in Nepal. The girls, who attend primary to upper secondary school, were asked to write about the beauty of their surroundings. They created poems in Nepali on a wide variety of subjects including parrots, mountains, trees, rivers and the spring season. Our young newly published authors are: Geeta Chepang, Karishma Rajbamshi, Nisha Lama, Deepa Chepang, Puja Kunwart, Bishnu Khadka, Roja Karki, Rajeshwori Bohaju, Sabina Magar, Binita Karki, Merina Sainju, Laxmi Parajuli and Rubina Gurung. The book was funded by a donation from the Kadoorie Charitable Foundation.
"Nature" by Binita Karki
Written in Nepali and translated to English
Oh! Green tree
Gives oxygen for free.
Oh! Clear river
Flows forever.
Oh! Sailing clouds
Thundering so loud.
Oh! Blooming flowers
I can walk among them for hours.
Oh! Lovely snow
Makes the winter glow.
