Six years of employment in the United Arabs Emirates was not sufficient for Rajan Shrestha, 29, to cover expenses of his ill mother.

Ultimately, being forced to return back home to take care of his sick mother, after the six months of his arrival his mother passed in the duration of treatment. Due to his mother’s treatment, he went out of money.

It was a hard time to re-integrate in Nepal as he was out of track to work in the locality. He even couldn’t restart the photo studio which was left before going to UAE due to lack of money.

He had to search for the job to manage his family but his interest and experience were related to photography. He wanted to do something by enhancing his knowledge of videography. But he did not have sufficient budget for payment. Finally, he reached the project team and proposed for the training.

He joined three months long video editing course supported by the project. After completing the training, he found a small job as a video editor in Kathmandu. Now he earns around 20,000 rupees on a monthly basis. He says “This life skill training has become a perfect match to my interest and very useful. I am very happy with the project team for providing me with such an opportunity.”
