Stories of Nepal is the best Nepali Facebook page. Period.

Inspired by Brandon Stanton’s Humans of New York blog, Jay Poudyal started Stories of Nepal on October 13, 2013 and has been telling us some of the most inspiring, emotional, funny and tragic stories from every corner of Nepal. The storyteller is currently in Jankapur and has been sharing some of the most beautiful stories from this ‘Mithila Nagari’. Every single one of the stories he shares is powerful but we came across this story of Jaybir Ray Kurmi From Janakpur – 3, Dhanusa which is not only powerful and inspiring but beautifully sums up the importance and value of education.

Without further ado, read it first.

Now be honest and tell us, do you have tears in your eyes? We had.

You can read more of such amazing stories on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram handles of Stories of Nepal.
