Synopsis

The film is about children living in the Himalayan Regions of Nepal. The harsh life they lead and the difficulties they face in everyday life. Education plays a vital role in any kid's life but, here, almost 50% kids do not attend schools for uncountable reasons. Some of them have to work in their parents' fields, some cannot afford to buy stationeries, and some simply cannot travel long distance each day to get to school as every village does not have schools and even if they do have one it is in a critical condition. Students in certain areas struggle immensely to get education, they walk long distances each day crossing rivers, dangerous trails and sometimes put their lives at risk in that sort of landscape with heavy snow fall, just to get to school. Comparing the kids from the cities to the ones in the
Himalayan region it seems like the city kids are very fortunate to have such an organized life. They get Tiffin boxes for lunch, school buses pick them from there doorsteps. Some parents in the Himalayan region would rather have their kids work in the fields than in schools. To get proper medical treatment in this area is impossible because it is so remote and basic medical treatment can be performed if you are lucky. None of the schoolshere have First Aid Kits which is essential. Still some students are aware of the wisdom they will get from studies which will help them to have better life in the future.
