Namaste!

My name is Bhim Katwal. I am the President of Prayashil Youth Club Thulachhap, located in Siddhicharan Municipality Ward no. 2, Thulachhap. I am pleased to share my journey and the positive impact Volunteers Initiative Nepal (ViN) has had on my life and community.

Two years ago, I participated in ViN’s Leadership Development Training, which completely changed my perspective. Before this program, I was very shy and struggled to express myself in front of others. I used to feel uncomfortable speaking, but after the training, I gained the confidence to speak freely and lead with courage. This training not only helped me improve my leadership skills but also encouraged me to help others find their voice.

Through ViN’s youth empowerment programs, I learned valuable skills that have made a huge difference in my life. I participated in plumbing and teacher training programs, which have been extremely helpful both personally and professionally. Now, I am able to share these skills with other youth in my community. I’ve seen how they are inspired by the knowledge I’ve gained and feel empowered to stay in the village and make a difference rather than leave for cities or foreign employment.

The biggest challenge we face as a youth in my community is the desire to leave for better job opportunities elsewhere. I often encourage the young people here to take part in the training offered by ViN and develop skills that can help them create opportunities at home. Whether you want to start a small business in the village or pursue work abroad, these skills will help you become successful. I tell them, “There are many ways to grow, and ViN gives you the tools to do that.”

As the President of Prayashil Youth Club, I’ve worked hard to motivate the youth to participate in these programs. I’ve seen how leadership training, plumbing, and teaching have helped me daily, and I am proud to share these experiences with others. These programs have played a key role in my personal and professional growth, and I am grateful to ViN for giving me these opportunities.

I strongly encourage all youth in my village to join the Prayashil Youth Club and take advantage of ViN’s programs. We can’t change our communities alone, but we can achieve so much more when we work together. Unity in our youth club has been vital in helping us grow and contribute to our village’s development. I believe that when we join forces, we can build a better future.

If you want to learn more about youth programs, I invite you to visit our Prayashil Youth Club Facebook page. There, you will find information about the incredible opportunities ViN offers and how these programs can benefit you and your community.

I want to tell you that ViN’s programs are life-changing. From leadership skills to plumbing and teacher training, ViN helped me grow personally and professionally. I learned things that have improved my life and am now teaching others to do the same. I feel proud to share what I learned with the youth of my community and encourage them to stay and contribute to the development of our village.

I tell the youth, “Don’t leave your community; develop your skills and build something here.” Prayashil Youth Club has been where we unite and grow, and I invite everyone to join. It’s the best way to help yourself and your whole community. Let’s keep working together for a brighter future!

Warm regards,
Bhim Katwal
President, Prayashil Youth Club Thulachhap
