My name is Sagar Magar. I am 12 years old. I was born in Rukum, Nepal, into a big family. When I was 5 years old my parents had to send me to the children’s home because of poverty. First I stayed in Jossa-Nepal that was not nice place. I just had to stay there because of my poverty. One day Bikash-brother came to children’s home and many things changed. These days I live in Meg’s Children Home and I am very happy about that.

About sagar (from Bikash)
Sagar is very much loving and caring to all. He is very good story teller and can tell story the whole day and small kids can listen his story with out food. If he is telling story we have to say, now kids it is our lunch lets have a break. He is equally good in his studies he stood second in his class. Mostly in the holidays I ask Sagar to tell stories when I am too tired to play with small kids.

His father and mother died when he was around 5 years old. He hardly remembers his mother. One of his cousin’s brought him to Kathmandu city where he was kept in a hotel and worked as child labour. He was bitten very badly and lived on the streets until finding his way to Meg’s Children home.

My name is Dilmaya Lama. My life story passed in very sad condition. I lost my childhood happiness when my father died. After my father’s death my mother was like mental ill. She used to cry a lot at mid-night after we all slept. One day the person from the hospital nearby took me to Kathmandu. Through many periods I got to know Bikash-brother. When I found my way to Meg’s Children Home my life began to be happy.

About Dilmaya - (from Bikash)
Dilmaya is hard working girl but she don’t have that much catchy brain so she is little weak in her studies comparing to time she gives for studies , she is very good in painting .
