Two sisters, 12 and 6 years old, used to come by the child friendly play space at the Canadian Red Cross field hospital every day. It was set up in the aftermath of the Nepal earthquake, in the community of Dhunche.
One day, the older sister opened up to the Canadian Red Cross aid worker providing psychosocial support and told her their story. Her family was experiencing issues that affected the two sisters and the girls hadn't been to school for at least a year.
With the assistance of the Red Cross aid worker, a family visit occurred with local authorities, and after this, the aid worker accompanied the mother to enrol the children in school. They have been attending school ever since, and are very happy.
