At twelve years old, Tsewang is one of our junior students at Kailash Home — not quite new, but still finding his way little by little. He doesn’t yet know where his story will go, but is beginning to author each new chapter with more and more confidence and personality. The son of farmers (and nephew of a Kailash graduate), he comes from an underdeveloped village in the Dolpa region of Nepal where even basic necessities, like food, are sometimes scarce.

Now, as a student at Kailash, Tsewang has everything he needs to thrive, and has gone from a shy little boy, to a funny and outgoing presence on campus. He can often be found reading comic books or in the midst of an energetic group of other boys, and is beloved by staff and visitors alike for his sweet disposition. His current aspirations are to be a chef or engineer, but thanks to HYF and your support, he has time to decide, and for now can enjoy the remaining years of his childhood!

In 2024 Tsewang traveled to Spain with the support of our friends at Kailash Home Foundation, where he received medical care for a congenital issue with his arm.

Without HYF and Kailash, Tsewang’s story would look entirely different. When you support our 2026 Annual Appeal, you’re ensuring that no matter what comes next, he and all of our other Kailash Kids will have the chance to write their own next chapters!
