MANNAM: The Hero


MANNAM friends! I want to ask a question to you!
Who is your HERO?
Batman? Spiderman? or other strong and fancy heroes in movies?
There are many heroes in the world but for kids of incarcerated parent, Pushpa Basnet.is their hero!
Who is Puspha Basent?
She is Nepalese who runs a day care program for children under age 6, and also runs a home for children of incarcerated parents. She started to help children ever since she saw the eyes of 8-months boy who lives in the jail his mother is in prison.
When she first started helping kids living in the prison, she was only 21 years old.
And so far, she has helps more than 140 children and elected as 2012 top CNN Hero.
Puspha Basent said "I had a very fortunate life, with a good education," Basnet said, "I should give it to somebody else."
Isn't it inspiring?
If you share your heart to kids who needs love, you can be their hero.
If you make Kimchi and share it with people who needs, then you can be their hero.
Carrying coals and setting up the fallen rice plants from typhoon will make you a hero since your action is for someone.
If you help old lady who needs helps, then you can be her hero.
Being hero doesn't require the fancy technological suit like Batman does.
All you need is to take an action of your caring heart, and that is what MANNAM does.
As our principal, we, MANNAM volunteer association strive to be a source of light and hope for others, not accepting payment for services rendered through MANNAM.
Hope you join MANNAM's volunteer work in the future, and let’s be the hero of the other people who needs your super power and caring heart.
