A Girl Sacrifices her Study to Pay Her Father’s Loan: Gulmi
In the Nepalese society they say maternals should not use daughter's
earnings but a girl from Gulmi based Neta VDC went abroad to earn
money so that she could pay her maternal's loan.
22 years-old Kopila Bishwakarma from Neta VDC-07 had taken a loan for
her father Bhim Bahadur Bika & for parenting his 4 childrens and their
expenses. She said, "My father and mother were on great trouble for
not paying back the loan. So I left my country while I was studying at
Standard 9 to earn some money." Bhim Bahadur accepts that her daughter
payed loan of 50 Lakhs while she worked at Dubai. Now Kopila's two
brother are studying plus two (+2) and her sister in 9th Standard at
Neta Darling Higher Secondary School.
"I want my brothers to become job holders after the completation of
study", she said. She added, "I will help my sisters for their higher
education".
She handed 2.5 lakhs rupees she had earned while staying two years at
Dubai and now plans to clear all the loans her father had taken. And
she'd shifted to Oman for earning more bucks.
Kopila shares her experience that working in village is painful and
less money but in abroad pain is less and more money. Now she earns
sixteen thousands per month in Oman.
