YESS, by name is a place to learn uncountable things. It is a place for gathering and sharing our ideas and Knowledge among ex-students of Yangrima. It has now become strong platform not only for the Yangrima students but students from the whole Helambu region. YESS has become really a great place for me to learn and I am very glad that I was a student of Yangrima .As a student there, were the most beautiful days of my life. I can say with proudly that whatever I am today is just because I was product of Yangrima. If my friends are today extolling of my discipline, dedication, devotion and punctuality, then it is because I learnt Yangrima School.

It gives me a great pleasure to drop down some opinion and experience that I have gained from “YESS”. I feel glad at heart me being a member of it and having an opportunity to share some of my views. What “YESS” to me is something which is always pleases the horizon of my imagination to describe? It established for an objective to help Yangrima Students and Helambu region children to gain a better and accessible education.

Well, when talking about “YESS” I count the days and the remarkable moments that I spent in “YESS” since 4 years. I still remember the moment where I had to present a speech and my face was reddening and my voice shambling . The moments have always been imprinted since then within my spirit. It has been a place for me to build confidence within me so as to pace forward and look into the world with my own vision.

What I have been in the “YESS” has vital role today in my life and has uplifted my confidence to communicate and face the different people and situation. It also has taught me the moral lesson to help each other and strengthen my spirit. I represented as the vice president at the beginning and then secretary and now the treasurer. I discovered lot from these different positions. It has helped me to adopt myself in different fields besides my academic studies.The “YWSA” scholarship has greatly extended my knowledge and it has helped many others too. It has enabled us to build towards our varied career. It has helped not only the students of Yangrima, but has also directly helped many Helambu region students to further their studies and it brings a hope and encouragement
YESS has helped a lot in the making Yangrima exist even today.

At last, thank you very much to the Yangrima School and the respective teachers for providing us a quality education and making a strong background without which our achievements would have not been possible. Thank you very much!!!!

My Experience Work at YESS:

I am Diki Lama, working as secretary in the Yangrima Ex-Students Society. I am also one of the ex-students of YESS. I studied in Yangrima Boarding School from nursery to class seven but after that I left Yangrima, due to the Maoist problem. After that I was very sad that I had to leave Yangrima and my wonderful friends from there. But I had to continue my further studies, so I did my class eight with Shree Jyoti Lower Secondary School. After that I did my class nine, ten and wrote my School Leaving Certificate from Shree Saraswati Higher Secondary School, situated at Gyalthum. I came to Kathmandu after taking my SLC. I really missed my friends from Yangrima Boarding School, but after I came to Kathmandu I met my friends from Yangrima and was very happy to talk to them. My friends told me about YESS and YESS IT, organized by ex-students of Yangrima Boarding School. My friends told me the activities of YESS and I became interested in the YESS activities. So I joined the YESS and took a 3 month basic computer course. During my computer course at YESS I was really happy to hear I had passed my SLC.

After that, I started to go to college in the morning shift and took classes in the Management Faculty. During the daytime I used to pass my time uselessly but later on, Jimmy (President of YESS) told me about the value of time and encouraged me to work at YESS as an office secretary. I was happy but a bit nervous on the first day, but a few days later I coped and by working there, everything satisfied me. I learned many things in YESS like how to talk to people during any occasion and many more. I never thought I would meet so many ex-students and teachers of Yangrima in one place and also I made many new friends at YESS. It has been six months that I have been working at YESS and I would like to continue this further. I wish to continue it for a long time but who knows where time takes us, as time changes on and we have to move according to time.

I really feel lucky working at YESS as the people are very co-operative with me, sharing, helping and everything done in YESS satisfies me.

Lastly, I would like to encourage other people who may be misusing their time to join YESS and use your valuable time wisely. I would really like to thank our president of YESS (Jimmy) for encouraging me and making me comfortable at YESS. I wish this organization great success in the future and that the ambition of the YESS is reached.

YWSA for me:

First of all, I would like to convey my sincere appreciation to YWSA for the financial assistance that I was given for the last two years. YWSA has encouraged and supported many students like me to pursue their higher studies. For us recipient, the YWSA project has acted as our guardian that at the beginning of every month we submit our invoice to clear the tuition fee. I feel so proud that I was one of the privileged persons to be a beneficiary of this program and now it has in some kind habituated the sense of independence inside me. I think I would feel not that comfortable harping for a tiny amount of money to my parents.

With such type of your financial assistance I have been able to join a good college like Campion Katmandu College helping me to successfully achieve a kind of quality education. I passed my first year with very good result and hope to better in second year result which is very closely impending. Perhaps I cannot show how I have changed in my personality in terms of education with the words, but all I can say is because of the YWSA amount I have found myself a different person. YWSA has also inspired me to work hard and it ives me a pleasure to share that I topped my class in grade 11 with which I was also awarded a discounted fee for grade 12.
At last, I would like to express thank you very much for all your support and help. My thankfulness also goes to YESS organization for playing an active role in this project and inspiring me to be a support member.
