This is a picture of our newest 1st grade student, Sarswoti Tamang. She is only four-years-old. About one week ago, she ran away to school with her brother Prabin Tamang, who studies in class two. At lunch time, her mother tried to take her home, but Sarswoti refused, demanding to have a chance to go to school just like her brother.
Sarswoti has not missed a day of school since. She comes to school each day with the biggest smile on her face. She has enjoyed making new friends, and loves all of her teachers. She can already draw a circle and write the letters "L", "T", "C" and "O" perfectly! That is very fast progress for a four-year-old who has only been in school for a week! I have never met a child who is so genuinely excited to learn. Her name "Sarswoti" is truly fitting because "Sarswoti" is the Hindu goddess of knowledge and learning. What an exceptional child!
