“I’ve been interviewed several times in my life, but I had never worked as an interviewer. This very thought made me very nervous when I was asked to host the program,” shared Acharya during a press meet held at Mandala Theater, Anam Nagar, on Wednesday (yesterday). [break]
The support of the team and his wife Ramila encouraged him to take up the venture, Acharya said. “It has been a totally new and wonderful experience for me,” he quipped.
“Traveling to places of Eastern Nepal like Udayapur, Morang and Sunsari to those of Western Nepal like Achchham, Doti and Dadeldhura for the program, we got to know so much about the conditions of children in those places,” said Acharya.

“We also realized that the children of Western Nepal are in need of most attention, as there are no employment opportunities there for making a living,” he added.
Addressing the audience, Sita Ghimire, one of the members of the team, shared, “The idea came while I was working with the organization Save the Children as its Advocacy Director. Keeping in mind the fact that children cannot speak for themselves, we wanted to do something that could bring into limelight the feelings of children. We thought that the program would be the best way to get their words heard by parents, teachers and politicians.”
She further added that the show has incorporated not just sad stories but also the inspirational ones to depict that with struggle and hard work, a prosperous living is possible.
Eight episodes have already been prepared so far of the show produced by Antenna Foundation Nepal. Each episode is 40-minute long and has been narrated by writer Buddhi Sagar.
