Inspirational or a reason to be concerned?
At 14, girls usually are more worried about their looks and their teen fantasies, but not Bindu Thang from Sukaura village, ward no. 4. She is not only attending grade 4 at her local school, she has also been taking care of her 4 younger siblings and the family hotel at night since a year and a half. Since her step mother has gone to Kuwait for employment for two years, Bindu has been taking care of the home front. Her dad, who actually sends people abroad, too is constantly away in relation to his work, so most of the responsibilities of the home has been on Bindu. Since the trend has been for local women to seek employment abroad, more and more female children have had to bear more responsibilities. It is Bindu's discipline and talent that she is performing well in school despite all the chores upon her.
Now, is this a inspirational story that a young kid can manage her life and home so well or a sad situation that this is becoming a kind of norm even in remote villages throughout Nepal?
